Dave Slayter, October 2023
Stopped at this hotel a few times. Very friendly owner, lovely breakfast and extremely welcoming for dogs. Worth a stay!
Stephen Jay, October 2023
Well, as soon as you walked through the door, the welcome was more than I've received in a very long time. Our cocker spaniel Lokshen was immediately made part of the family and introduced to Jet. Jet was a true gentledog, unlike Lokshen who chose to be vocal!! However, Lokshen was given doggy treats and lots of gifts including a collapsible dog bowl. If this wonderful guest house does not receive this prestigious award, then there is no justice!! Lucy is an amazing host, she treated us with the utmost care. She allows dogs on the beds by providing a special doggy blanket to protect the bedding. Lokshen took advantage of this.
Felicity Brooks, October 2023
Reason being it really is the best dog friendly hotel.
So welcoming to dogs and their owners, the treat packs are amazing.
Even though very dog friendly The Ashleigh is absolutely spotless and each room is deep cleaned after each use.
I can’t wait for us to go back.
Iain Manning, October 2023

Amanda Le Heuze, October 2023
Perfect place to stay with your dog, very welcoming and direct access from the bedroom to the lovely safe enclosed garden. Thanks for the welcome pack for us and our pooch! Super breakfast too
Sue Ross, October 2023
This is a wonderful hotel that really cares about your lovely dog - as well as their owners! We booked the Garden Room so our 18 year old pup could stretch his paws whenever he wanted. The room was full of amazing treats, toys, bowl and poo bags for our lad. We all felt so welcome and will stay here every time we visit Bournemouth.
Louise Brooks, October 2023
They’ve thought of everything for our dog, treats, blanket, dog bowl etc. also recommendations on dog friendly places to eat, areas for breakfast.
David Jones, October 2023
Amazing service, couldn't have been more accommodating. One happy sausage dog and 2 happy owners
Sue Woolnough, October 2023
Lucy runs the place on her own. She is a small business and she does a brilliant job. I've never been anywhere so dog friendly (even more dog friendly than the fantastic boot and bike). She should win the top spot m
Charlotte Cherry, October 2023
Amazing to find a place so dog friendly, free water bowl, toy, treats and poo bags to take home. We had the garden room which includes access to their lovely enclosed garden.

We have recently stayed at The Ashleigh, the owner was extremely friendly, easy check-in and check out, nice and clean. Room was spacious, accommodating the dogs that goes on the bed and the space on the floor for a dog. Garden available at set times and gifts for dogs. No faults in the visit.
Colin THOMPSON, October 2023
Great place always ready to welcome Brum and us of course
Lynette Thompson, October 2023
Super friendly dog welcoming hotel.
Rosheen Gaughan, September 2023
Simply the best dog friendly hotel I’ve ever been to!! It has a really family feel to it! Lucy was so attentive and made our stay feel like a home from home. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she even puts together a little care package for our fur baby’s! Great location, 5 minuet drive / 20 min walk to the beach! We will certainly be back again! Highly recommended!! I will be very shocked if The Ashleigh doesn’t win dog friendly hotel of the year cause it really does deserve to!!
Thank you for our stay Lucy!! See you and gorgeous Jet next time!
Best wishes and paw kisses from,
Roisin, Josh & Luna 🐾

Millie Tomlinson, August 2023
The owner was very welcoming to me and my dog and made a big fuss over him, they also provided gifts for him in the room to keep which he loved the toy and treats!, I couldn’t recommend this place more for any dog owner that’s looking to stay in this area.

We stayed there with our puppy for the first time. We had a fab weekend. Puppy was made to feel welcome.
Debbie Cambrey, August 2023
We have stayed at The Ashleigh on a number of occasions now, when visiting our daughter at Uni. The welcome has always been warm, the rooms are very comfortable, with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The room rates are always very competitive for the area, especially considering the B&Bs proximity to the main shopping and restaurant area. We will definitely be returning soon.
Roger Glasel, August 2023
Theres a lot of competion today who still fail to make reference on the booking confirmation that this is covered. Small matters that make a big difference with the owner of this hotel a dog owner herself.
Emma Merrison, August 2023
Couldn’t be more accommodating!! Everything needed for human and dog - and the personal use of the garden was fantastic Super friendly staff and comfy cosy room too. Will definitely head back :)
Fran House, August 2023
I am voting for the Ashleigh because from the moment I stepped in with our two beautiful dogs it was so homely and the dogs settled so well. The room was lovely and the owner was really lovely!
Definitely will be staying again!

Amazing French doors onto enclosed garden perfect for our pooch

I have now stayed here 2 times and wow the owner is so very friendly and welcoming. Helps to find your way around Bournemouth.

TRACEY, October 2021
Loved the gift box and towels for the dogs, just so nice that they got spoiled too. Extremely comfortable and deluxe room was perfect for us and our two flatcoats. Great to be able to either leave dogs in rooms or take them to the breakfast room. Nice to have secure garden for the dogs too before hitting the beach. Lovely stay and would definitely stay again

This hotel is absolutely lovely.
Clean, beautiful decorated through out, and I was blown away by not only the fact they allow your four legged friend to accompany me. They also cater for them also, in our room we received a beautiful presented treat box full of treats & goodies for my dog buster!
(He absolutely loved it)
We will definitely be staying again!
A big Thank you to Both Lucy & her beautiful boy Jet. X
Andzelika Godek, August 2021
The Ashleigh is the place where dogs can’t be more warmly welcome. My Puppsy felt like at home within minutes! The whole atmosphere is dog friendly and focused on making sure our four legged friends (and their owners) have a lovely holiday!
Jasper Lee, August 2021
We visited recently and were impressed by the (shared) enclosed garden, ability for dogs to dine with you at breakfast (unlike some other dog friendly hotels), as well as the very cool welcome package for dogs. Also the thoughtful little things like the mat to put his water bowl (provided in the pack!) down so it doesn’t spill everywhere. Also (and this may be also be because of covid) the spaced distanced in the breakfast room so dogs don’t get hyped up when put too close to the next tables. Also the owner is very friendly, our dog was obsessed with her.
