‘Scrufts’ conference agency weekend at Stoke Rochford Hall.
Labrador Russell, owned by general manager Barry Clark at Stoke Rochford Hall near Grantham has issued a personal invitation to the pet dogs of around 20 UK conference booking agencies for a pet friendly familiarisation visit to the hotel on Bank Holiday weekend, 28th and 29th August.
As ‘host’ Russell‘s invitation includes a programme that includes:
• A canine afternoon tea on arrival with Woof ‘n’ Brew biscuits, speciality teas including ‘Mint Breath’, ‘Shiny Coat’ and ‘Health & Vitality’
• A dog agility class
• Barking barbecue (minus hot dogs)
• Hounds Hunt – a treasure hunt around the hotel grounds with prizes for owners and their dogs.
Barry Clark said: “This all started when we announced our ‘pets welcome’ scheme that includes opportunities for conference delegates to walk Russell and I began to wonder some days where Russell had gone as delegates love walking him so much.”
Trident Hospitality director, Kevan Holland who is “leading’ the familiarisation visit promises that the weekend will create an appreciation of dog-friendly conferences, the positive effect pets have on people and the known fact that dogs in a room have a calming influence on delegates,
The hotel is a registered ‘pet friendly’ hotel and welcomes dogs, cats and other guest pets as part of the service. Pets receive their own booking service and welcome letter as well as a welcome pack of treats and a toy. Dog walking of guest dogs is included and carried out by members of staff plus, care for pets when delegates are in their meeting or event.
“Naturally the grounds at Stoke Rochford Hall are the main attraction as they are so large and a great asset where delegates love to bring their dogs, let them free and have no worries about traffic or other perils. Russell is really looking forward to meeting his new friends and guests”. adds Barry Clark.
Stoke Rochford Hall is set in 28 acres of landscaped grounds with quiet seating areas, lake and charming woodland walks. Stoke Rochford Golf Club is adjacent to the hotel where resident guests can book tee times and enjoy a special price for a round.
