Park Hotel Kenmare launch ‘Dogs at The Park’ Pet-Friendly Escapes

A peaceful luxury escape, and no need to leave your best friend behind. Park Hotel Kenmare has launched Dogs at The Park, a considered and comforting pet-friendly programme that means you can enjoy all the beauty and calm of this special place with your dog by your side.

At a time when more people are seeking meaningful escapes in nature, Dogs at The Park offers just that — the chance to travel without compromise. There’s no kennel to arrange, no need to leave your pet with someone else, just the ease of knowing your dog is with you, part of the experience. Rooted in nature, culture and community, five-star Park Hotel Kenmare has created a setting where both you and your pet feel at home, surrounded by calm, beauty and space to explore.

Dogs at The Park pet-friendly stays are designed to be just as luxurious and enjoyable as your own, with a plush Alice & Co. dog bed — cosy and comfy, and designed to complement the hotel’s elegant interiors — along with food and water bowls, a special welcome treat, and a custom-designed walking map to help you both explore the scenic surroundings. For those who’d like to treat their dog to a little extra TLC, the Park Hotel Kenmare team can assist with arranging grooming or dog-walking services — simply let them know what you need in advance.

Meals for VIP canine guests are elevated by the use of Nádúr dog food, a premium Irish brand made in Kilkenny. Using only natural ingredients and packed with high-quality protein, Nádúr is grain-free and gentle on sensitive tummies, so an ideal choice for dogs who deserve the very best. This dedicated À La Bark menu offers a selection of Nádúr treats to delight even the most discerning pup.

Your dog is warmly welcomed to relax with you in the privacy of your room as well as enjoying the beauty of the 12 acres of gardens, where herbs, flowers, fine specimen trees and open lawns create the perfect setting for a stroll full of new smells and adventures. Your dog will be able to join you on the outdoor terrace at the Park Hotel, Kenmare to dine, taking in those breathtaking views of Kenmare Bay. Beyond the gates, Reenagross Park has meandering woodland paths and river views, and the colourful town of Kenmare is just a short wander away, where many local cafés and pubs have dog-friendly outdoor seating. 

Travelling with your dog changes the shape of any trip. You settle in more quickly, slow down more easily, and feel more present. Dogs at The Park captures that quiet contentment of having everything you need, and everyone you love, with you.

Stays at Park Hotel Kenmare with breakfast start from €670 in high season, and €395 in low season, for two people sharing, with a supplementary charge of €65 per night for a pet-friendly room, there are a select number of Terrace rooms suitable for pets.
