Website Link: Royal Copenhagen Inn
Wagging Tails: 4.5
General Cost: $109-$225 with $15 fee per dog (per night). For specified rates, check their rates page. Also check specials and packages. Also look on Groupon for discounts.
What's Included: Two free postcards of Solvang are included in each room. They also have a Danish breakfast, with some American implements (such as cereals), so it remains kid-friendly. A pool is available year-round with a dog-friendly grass area off to the side.
Points of Interest: There's plenty to do in the Santa Ynez Valley! The Santa Ynez Valley is home to Santa Barbara Wine Country, which includes wineries such as the Artiste Winery, Gainey Vineyard & Winery, Sunstone Vineyards & Winery, Rideau Winery & Vineyard, Carhartt Vineyard & Winery, Foxen Winery, Melville Vineyards & Winery, Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyard, Foley Estates Vineyard & Winery (Lompoc), Rusack Vineyards, and Firestone Vineyard. There are also Santa Barbara Wine Country Cycling Tours, if you'd like a more hands-on experience. And, then, of course, there's always Solvang. Also known as "Little Copenhagen", Solvang lends a wealth of attractions. From traditional Danish bakeries to large windmills, you could spend days on end just looking in the shop windows. Or, if you'd rather sit indoors, the Chumash Resort Hotel, Spa & Casino. Santa Barbara is relatively nearby as well. Los Padres National Forest, taking up 1.75 million acres of the California Coast, would be a good option for those closer to nature. Other nature places include Cachuma Lake Recreational Area, Nojoqui Falls & Park, and Glider Rides. Or, if you like farm animals & horses, Rancho Oso Guest Ranch & Stables or Santa Ynez Valley's Arabian Horse Association might be the way to go.
Doggie Comments: This was a nice Inn. It had a cat and a grassy place where even my overreactive Little Person could let me go off-leash (she did follow me like a cat with the poop bags). At breakfast, they let me play in the outdoor eating area. Unfortunately, I had to fight with the cat to leave my people alone. That cat was mean.
Owner Comments: This was a very nice place to stay. It had a wonderful pool with a nice outdoor area and a nice room setup. We had a party of 5 people and could comfortably fit into two rooms. Since we had two double beds, we pushed them together, but the management didn't complain or separate the beds. It was centrally located in Solvang, which was nice, as we rarely had to use the car. This was nice for our dog, as she never seems to get enough walks, and this way she was knocked out after we returned. The staffing was very nice, and when my elderly grandfather was locked out of his room when he was taking a breath of fresh air, they let him back in. However, there is an alley cat who haunts the dumpster. This is also a dog and cat friendly hotel, so this could be a problem for some dogs (our next-door neighbor's cat had a habit of sitting on the windowsill and when my dog passed, she wanted to attack her. It was quite family-friendly as well. However, if you would like the loft, you should book well in advance, as we were trying to book the loft for 2 nights, and unfortunately never got it. When you eat at the Danish breakfast, you can let your dog in the back, as it has a small eating area & yard outside while you eat indoors (or outdoors). The food was quite delicious, and had both Danish and American food.
