Award-winning Hotel Group names first ‘Ambassadogs’after National Search
Crerar Hotels have appointed two paw-fect pooches as the face of its new dog-friendly offering
A leading hotel group has revealed its first ever ‘ambassadogs’ following a national competition. Crerar Hotels launched the search for a paw-fect pup to front its new Dogs of Crerar Hotels campaign earlier this year. After hundreds of online entries, bosses narrowed their favourites down and appointed adorable spaniels Bailey and Loki as the winners. As well as earning the title of Crerar Hotels’s ‘ambassadogs’ for next year, Bailey and Loki’s paw-rents will enjoy a stay at their favourite hotel in the collection.
Niall O’Shaughnessy, General Manager of Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa and paw-rent to Callie and Willow, the hotel resident pups, said: “We had the hardest job in the world trying to pick a winner for our ambassadog competition, but we instantly fell in love with Bailey and Loki as soon as we saw them. “We are so excited to be working with them over the course of the year and hope to welcome both them and their paw-rents back to Loch Fyne to celebrate soon!” Already renowned for its exceptional dog-friendly offering, Crerar Hotels’ brand-new package of dog-friendly amenities includes a welcome pack with a ball, treats and poo bags as standard, a Tail Waggers guide with useful information on nearby walks and local vet information and all properties will also offer plush beds, cosy blankets and water bowls to pooches who enjoy a little bit of luxury.
On arrival dogs will be treated to biscuits with water bowls also in reception whilst each hotel will also have its own unique offering. Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa for example, currently offers complimentary breakfast sausages whilst Oban Bay Hotel has a Dog Wall of Fame and offers puppuccinos. What’s more, Crerar Hotels has also announced an exciting partnership with Edinburgh-based luxury dog accessories brand Stocky & Dee, who have developed a bespoke range of limited-edition collars, bow ties and poo bag holders in the iconic colours synonymous with the brand. Niall continued: “Crerar Hotels is all about creating memorable experiences for all our guests- including our four-legged friends. “With Bailey and Loki leading the way, we’re proud to showcase our ever-expanding dog-friendly offerings and we’re looking forward to welcoming pups across our portfolio of hotels. ”Guests staying or visiting hotels within the Crerar Hotels collection are able to purchase items from the exclusive Stocky & Dee collection now.
