We opened the first Wagstaff in Manchester in 2019 because we were tired of hotels that would take the dog and then hide him in the car park. There are now four, in Manchester, Edinburgh, Bath and York, and a fifth opens in London next spring.
Each is different, and each was chosen for its walks. The way we look after dogs is the same in all of them.

The Wagstaff Way
Whichever Wagstaff you choose, your dog gets the same bed, the same kitchen and the same people looking after them. The buildings are the only thing that changes.
An orthopaedic dog bed in every room, sized to your dog when you book. Raised bowls, dog towels and a hook for the lead by the door.
Supervised day care in a garden at every hotel, with one handler for every four dogs. A photograph and a note at noon and at four.
Cooked in our kitchens to recipes written with a veterinary nutritionist. Or bring their usual food and we'll serve it at their usual times.
A groomer at every hotel, by appointment. Bath and dry from £45.
Three walks a day, led by people who know the city's parks and paths. You're welcome to come.
A partner practice within ten minutes of every hotel, open around the clock.
Offers
Five nights across any two Wagstaffs. We book the train and the dog-friendly car at each end, and your dog's Day Club place carries over.
From £1,350
A quieter room, a session with our trainer and a first trip to the Parlour, for dogs under a year old. At every hotel.
From £320 a night
Between November and February: a room with a fireplace, the fire laid, a bottle of wine and a long Sunday walk. Edinburgh, York and Manchester.
From £365 a night
The Wagstaff Club
The Club is free to join. Your dog's profile (food, routine, temperament, vaccinations) is kept on file, so whichever Wagstaff you book, the room is ready for them and the Day Club team already knows their name.
Members also get the fifth night free, check-in from noon, and a birthday cake for the dog. We bake it, and it's made for dogs.
Join the Club
Edinburgh
From a lap of the Water of Leith to the long way up Arthur's Seat, chosen by our Edinburgh walkers.
Kitchens
How the dog's menu is written, tested and cooked in four kitchens, and why there's no chicken on it in York.
Travel
Every Wagstaff is within ten minutes of a mainline station. Here's how to make the journey easy for both of you.
