Why do you think you are the best in your nominated category?

The Mole Resort is a true playground for pet lovers, offering a comprehensive range of pet-friendly amenities and experiences that make it the ideal destination for furry friends and their owners. We have easy access to an almost unlimited amount of dog walking trails as we’re surrounded by the stunning Devon countryside as well as being based on a 125 acre site. We have a range of pet friendly accommodation to nestle down into, from hotel rooms to beautiful eco conscious 4 bedroom lodges with views over Mole Valley. Every accommodation comes with a welcome pack for your furry friend, including plant based treats, dog bowl & towel, sustainable waste bags, hemp toy & blanket. All of which can be taken home with you. Our lodges also benefit from a warm outdoor tap to wash those muddy paws after exploring our wonderful surroundings. Dogs are welcome in most of our restaurants and indoor public areas. We’re also expanding our menu to include pet friendly options, meaning not only can your dog join you at dinner time, they can also enjoy it.

Why do you love being a dog-friendly hotel?

We believe that pets are part of the family so it’s a joy to us to see not only adults and children enjoying our resort, but also their beloved pets, as a family. Making memories is for everyone, not just the humans. We love pets so much that we aim to promote pet inclusivity and hope we can set an example to be truly dog friendly rather than just pets allowed. We also love to see dog lovers come together; we’ve seen a real sense of community around the resort.
