A holiday where no-one gets left behind. Yes, that means your four-legged companions too! They’re as important as any other guest which is why we brought Ivy and Duke onboard at No. 15 Bath to help create a pawsitively unforgettable dog-friendly staycation. Read on to get to know a little more about them ahead of your stay with us.
Who are Ivy and Duke?
We’re a British brand dedicated to crafting high-quality, handmade dog beds designed for ultimate comfort and style. Each bed is built with premium memory foam to support joint health, ensuring a restful sleep for dogs of all breeds and sizes. With machine-washable, durable covers available in waterproof and fabric options, our beds are as practical as they are luxurious! After a day of exploring and adventures, an all important recharge is necessary.
Tell us a little bit about Ivy and Duke at No. 15 Bath
Design is a huge part of GuestHouse Hotels so the first step was choosing the fabrics with the team, so that our dog beds and pillows would complement the bedrooms and space. We offer a range of 15 colours and patterns to choose from and you can further personalise the design with embroidery for an extra special touch. It's always the little details that count which is why we offer so much choice.
The GuestHouse interior team opted for our elegant tweed at No. 15 Bath with additional bespoke piping. They also chose to embroider the hotel's name too for extra personalisation. We’re really pleased with how it turned out and have loved seeing all the photos of the adorable guests in our Ivy and Duke beds at No. 15 Bath.
Where will you find Ivy and Duke at No. 15 Bath?
The exciting part! Check-in, head up to your room and your furry friend will be greeted by their very own corner complete with an extra-comfortable Ivy and Duke dog bed, pillow, toy and some delicious doggy treats. We’re not just dog-friendly, we’re a dog loving family. Whilst you unpack, it’s time for your companions to sniff out their new home, take a quick recharge or enjoy a tasty reward after being such a good boy or girl - travelling is rough!
When it’s time to step out of the room or enjoy some dinner, it’s time to make yourself comfortable in The Bar. We’ll make sure your pooch feels right at home too with a cosy blanket, cushion and some water to quench their thirst.
If you're travelling to our other hotels, don't worry, your pooch will still be able to enjoy it all. We've taken Ivy and Duke group wide, so they'll be pampered whether you visit us in Bath, York, Margate or Brighton. And if they're feeling rather at one with their new set-up, perhaps Ivy and Duke will be one to add to the list for the next birthday or Christmas present...
We love seeing captures of your stay and your beloved pups living their best staycation lives with their personal Ivy and Duke beds at GuestHouse. Make sure to tag us when sharing your pictures and you might just see them featured in one of our round-ups!
