At Best Bark, we believe your dog deserves more than just a walk in the park. They deserve the best beds, the finest treats, and a front-row seat to the good life. So, we’ve teamed up with two of our favourite dog-loving partners, AC Hotel Belfast and Murphy & Bailey to launch a paws-itively amazing giveaway.
What’s up for grabs? Only the most tail-wagging luxury staycation Belfast has ever seen.
One lucky dog (and their human(s)) will win a one-night stay at the beautiful AC Hotel Belfast and a complimentary breakfast at Novelli’s. This riverside retreat blends modern comfort with genuine warmth for both people and pups. It’s one of the most stylish pet-friendly hotels in the city, and the team there really gets what it means to welcome dogs, not just tolerate them.
To sweeten the deal, Murphy & Bailey are throwing in a bundle of premium goodies. And of course, Best Bark will be adding some of our signature touches.
If you’ve ever dreamed of checking into a hotel where your dog gets more attention than you do (in a good way), this is your moment.

Getting involved is easy and totally free.

Why This Giveaway Matters
We started Best Bark to make it easier for dog owners to enjoy the best of Belfast without leaving their pup behind. Whether it’s cafés that offer puppuccinos, bars where your dog can nap under the table, or hotels that roll out the red carpet for your four-legged companion, our mission is simple: if your dog’s not invited, we’re not interested.
This giveaway celebrates that mission.
“Belfast is a fantastic city for dog lovers, and we’re thrilled to partner with AC Hotel and Murphy & Bailey to offer this special experience,” says Amée, founder of Best Bark. “Whether you’re a local or visiting, this is a chance to enjoy the best of Belfast with your dog by your side.”
And if you’re new to the city or just haven’t explored the pet-friendly scene yet, this is your excuse to start. There’s a growing community of businesses here that go out of their way to welcome dogs and we’re proud to shine a spotlight on them.
Meet the Partners
AC Hotel Belfast
Set on the edge of the River Lagan, AC Hotel Belfast has fast become one of our top-rated dog-friendly hotels in the city. From stylish, pet-welcoming rooms to relaxed riverside walks right on your doorstep, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again — dog in tow. Their team gets it: dogs are family, and they’re treated like VIP guests from check-in to check-out.
Murphy & Bailey
A local gem in Belfast’s pet scene, Murphy & Bailey isn’t your average pet shop. It’s a boutique with seriously high standards when it comes to quality, ethics, and customer service. They stock everything from eco-conscious toys to beautifully designed accessories and are huge supporters of the dog-friendly community. If you’re looking to spoil your dog (and let’s be honest, you are), this is the place to go.
Why We Love a Staycation
You don’t have to leave Northern Ireland to treat yourself and your dog to something special. This staycation is all about slowing down, spending time together, and remembering that your dog deserves a little luxury too.
Think of it as a mini holiday with maximum joy:
- A gorgeous room with views of the city
- Dog-friendly walks along the Maritime Mile
- Local coffee spots where your pup can curl up beside you
- And of course, a goody bag that’ll make your dog’s day
Get Involved and Good Luck!
We love seeing the Best Bark community get behind these kinds of giveaways, and we’ll be sharing highlights all month long across our social channels.

So go on tag your dog, tell your friends, and follow us for more pet-positive content all summer long. And who knows? You might be the one checking into AC Hotel Belfast with your pup next month, sipping a cocktail while they snooze at your feet.
