Who let the dogs in? – the pawfect getaway

As dog lovers, the team at Solent Hotel and Spa takes care of their four-legged guests from the moment they check-in to the moment they ‘wag’ their tail goodbye. Upon arrival, beloved pets receive their very own comfy bed as well as an exciting ‘Waggy Tails’ welcome pack – complete with food bowls, fresh water, toys, poop bags, blankets and personalised dog biscuits. Each of the dog-friendly rooms are conveniently located on the ground floor, with their own entrance, so guests and their furry best friends can come and go as they please.

All canine companions are more than welcome in the hotel bar and lobby areas, while also enjoying the outdoor space surrounding the property.

Finally, for every dog that stays, Solent is donating 50 per cent of the surcharge to Dogs Trust.

Things to do this Easter

 During your stay at Solent Hotel and Spa, there’s plenty to see and do, from local landmarks and historic sights to unique and memorable moments.

First on your list of activities during your stay should be the Solent Sky Museum, a wonderful monument to the Solent region’s importance to the world of aviation between 1910 and 1960. The museum depicts the incredible story of aviation in Hampshire, with more than 20 aeroplanes from the area’s golden age. Visitors can sit in jet fighter cockpits and walk through the giant Sandringham Flying Boat.

Along with its history of aviation, the city of Southampton has a storied place in the world of naval engineering, as the famous Titanic set sail from Southampton’s White Sail Dock. The museum tells the ship’s tragic tale with a fascinating interactive exhibition.

For families, you’ll find the fantastic Peppa Pig World at Paulton Park. Renowned as the UK’s number one family theme park, Paulton Park is home to over 70 rides and attractions in over 140 acres of beautiful New Forest parklands.
