Dine With Your Dog


One of the joys of travelling with your pet is not having to leave them behind during mealtimes. At The Royal Hotel, dogs are welcome to join you as you dine in our charming Conservatory, stylish Brasserie or outside in our subtropical gardens on sunny days. Whether you're enjoying a leisurely breakfast, a casual lunch, or a delightful dinner, your canine companion can sit by your side. Our menu features seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, making every meal a delightful experience, while your dog enjoys the comfort of being close to you.

Ventnor and the Isle of Wight are renowned for their breathtaking coastal walks, and autumn and winter are the perfect times to explore them. From the beautiful Ventnor Beach to the scenic trails along St. Boniface Down, there are plenty of paths for you and your dog to discover. Enjoy the fresh sea air, dramatic cliffside views, and peaceful landscapes that are ideal for an energising walk or a leisurely stroll.

With miles of dog-friendly coastline and countryside, the Isle of Wight is a paradise for dog lovers. Many local cafes and pubs welcome dogs, so you can both take a break and enjoy the local hospitality.
