How TrustPaws verifies a hotel

A TrustPaws badge means we’ve checked more than a “pets allowed” box. For every certified hotel, we verify:

  • The real pet policy and any fees — exactly what you’ll pay, with no surprises at check-in.
  • Which room types pets can actually stay in.
  • The welcome amenities genuinely provided — beds, bowls, treats, kits.
  • How genuinely the staff and grounds are set up for animals.

If a hotel hasn’t met the standard, it isn’t certified — simple as that.

Getting to & around Sarlat with a dog

Sarlat has its own station on the branch from Bordeaux via Bergerac: on French trains, small dogs up to 6 kg travel in a bag for a small flat fee, larger dogs on a lead with muzzle at a reduced regional fare (set per region, typically €5–15). The old town is compact and pedestrian; for the valley’s castles, gardens and river beaches you will want a car — the classic loop along the Dordogne (La Roque-Gageac, Domme, Beynac) is twenty minutes from town, with shaded riverside parking under the cliffs.

Best walks & places for dogs around Sarlat

The one garden every dog should see: Marqueyssac, whose six kilometres of hand-clipped box-tree paths along the cliff welcome leashed dogs — the belvedere at the end hangs 130 m above the river, and late afternoon light turns the whole ridge gold. The Jardins d’Eyrignac, equally leashed-friendly, add formal lawns and a 200-hectare estate walk. On the water, the canoe bases at Vitrac and along the Vézère take dogs aboard as a matter of course — a doggy life-jacket is a sensible €5 add-on — and the gravel banks between La Roque-Gageac and Beynac make natural swim stops. In town, walk the old centre at dawn or after dinner; on market mornings (Wednesday and Saturday) the lanes pack tight, so give the dog the quieter Plantier gardens above town instead and collect your walnuts and foie gras solo.

Frequently asked questions

Can my dog visit the Marqueyssac gardens?

Yes — leashed dogs are welcome throughout the gardens, including the six kilometres of clifftop box-tree paths to the belvedere. It is the Dordogne’s best dog-and-view walk; carry water in summer.

Can dogs come canoeing on the Dordogne?

Yes — the main hire bases (Vitrac and along the river) routinely take dogs in the boat; ask for a dog life-jacket when you book. Mornings mean calmer water and empty gravel beaches for swim stops.

Is Sarlat market day doable with a dog?

It is busy — Wednesday and Saturday mornings pack the lanes shoulder-tight. Walk the old town at dawn instead, give the dog the Plantier gardens during market hours, and keep town walks to the shaded side lanes in July heat.

Do hotels in Sarlat charge a pet fee?

It varies — manor hotels outside the walls tend to charge per night (often €10–20), town hotels are split between free and a modest fee. Every TrustPaws listing states the exact, verified policy and fee before you book.
