Pet Friendly The Mooring

Our last stop on our Pet Friendly Phuket roadtrip was The Mooring down in Panwa. This turned out to be our favourite hotel of the trip. We definitely saved the best to last. We originally booked 1 night but we loved it so much we stayed an extra night. That meant we had to do the drive back to Hua Hin in one go. That ended up being a 10 hour drive. But it was worth it for an extra night at The Mooring.

Pet Policy

The great thing about The Mooring was that there was no pet policy. There were absolutely no restrictions at all nor was there any pet fee. I believe if you have a larger dog over 20kg there was a pet fee but it was quite small at around 300 baht per night. Dogs were allowed everywhere in the hotel (apart from inside the swimming pool of course), in the room, at the pool area and on the beach. They were also allowed to be left unattended in the room as long as they didn’t cause disruption to other guests. But when they are allowed everywhere in the hotel there’s no need to leave them unattended.

The Cove Restaurant

There was no restaurant in the hotel itself but next door they have The Cove restaurant. It’s literally a few seconds walk. So it actually felt like it was part of the hotel anyway. They are also super pet friendly and we had all of our meals here together. The menu is extensive with lots of choice so even though we ate every meal here we didn’t get bored. Price is a bit on the higher side but it’s a great setting overlooking the beach and the sea. The food is great, staff is nice and friendly so it’s definitely worth it.

The Room & Hotel

The hotel itself was great. A small boutique hotel, just what we love. Rooms are split between rooms next to the pool and then rooms higher up the hill which have better views of the sea. The first night we stayed in a garden room and then moved up to a sea view room the next night. Be warned, there are a lot of steps up to the sea view rooms! But how else are you going to get such an amazing view?

The rooms were lovely and modern and tastefully decorated. They had a nice beach vibe with wooden furniture and a white theme throughout. Both rooms were very spacious with a sitting area where you could look out of the window at the view (seaview room). Or a small terrace with seats to sit out (garden room). Both rooms were as nice as each other so it would just depend on whether you wanted a view with the stairs or a terrace and no stairs.

The pool was great for the humans to keep up their exercising by swimming lengths. Being based directly on the beach also meant we could take nice walks along the beach and plod along in the sea. There were no soi dogs on the beach either so it was perfect. There were a few other people walking their dogs so I got to sniff some butts which I loved!
