Dog Friendly Hotels in Guernsey

Forget leaving your precious pets at home and book a pet-friendly holiday to Guernsey for your next trip! We've got everything you need to know about travelling to this stunning island with amazing pet-friendly accommodation, so pack your bags, your car, get the treats and get ready for a trip to remember.

We don't allow pets in our passenger lounges, apart from recognised assistance dogs. If you're travelling on foot, then your pet must be in a cage that meets RSPCA requirements. They'll be kept in the dedicated pet area of our car decks, but don't worry - talk to a member of staff during your sailing and they'll be happy to escort you to see them. If you're travelling by car, please leave your windows open slightly for that fresh sea breeze, and leave them some water. If you want to travel with your pets a little closer to you, Condor Islander has our first pet-friendly cabins.

For more information please read through our travelling with pets page.

Requirements for bringing your dog

As the same regulations apply for Guernsey as they do for the mainland UK, it's worth getting your dog a quick nose-to-tail health check at their vets before you travel. This way you can travel stress-free knowing that their microchip details, insurance and vaccines are up to date in case of the worst-case scenario. It's also doing a quick flea and worming treatment before travel to remove the possibility of any unpleasant pests.

Onboard

Although pets must stay on the car deck for the sailing, you can visit them whilst escorted by a member of staff. This is weather-dependent however, but do know that we will be checking up on your pets at regular intervals during the sailing.
If you're staying on Condor Islander in one of the pet-friendly cabins, please ensure that your pooch is muzzled when outside your vehicle, the cabin and the kennel.

Pet Essentials

When packing, it's good to make sure that you have a checklist of all the necessary items for your pet to bring with you, as some hotels may not include them in the pet welcome packs. Make sure you have enough food, waste bags, their leash and collar with ID tags and cleaning items for those sandy beach walks.

Do dogs have to stay in the car on a ferry?

 If you’re travelling by car with your pet they can stay in the car for the sea journey, but make sure you leave windows slightly open for fresh air, and also some water. Condor Islander has our first pet-friendly cabins if you wish to travel with your companion close by. Please read our travelling with pets page for more information.

We classify livestock animals as those commonly kept for production or leisure activities in a farming or stable environment, and these would need to be booked on as freight. If you're not sure how to book your pet or animal, call our Contact Center on 0345 609 1026, and they'll be happy to help.
