Pet and Dog Friendly

South of Boston/Plymouth lodgings welcome your dog friend

Hotels and motels in the South of Boston region of Massachusetts, in the towns of Plymouth, Middleboro, Westport, and Raynham, recognize the important role of a family dog, and several offer pet friendly hospitality, even including convenient maps of local walking trails. Check ahead at pet friendly and dog friendly MA lodgings, because some lodgings request a refundable cleaning deposit and place limits on the size of visiting pets. Pet friendly lodgings also remember to give the human owners the amenities they need, too, such as fine dining and close proximity to attractions, shopping, and outdoor activities. Just a step away from Boston, Cape Cod, and Providence, Rhode Island, this region is home to Plymouth and Plymouth Rock, landing place of the Mayflower, and the wonderful Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum. Other highlights of the region are the city of New Bedford, a historic old whaling capital, and Battleship Cove, in the city of Fall River, and where visitors can explore a Naval warship.
