About Us

Meet the team
experienced in the care of Dachshunds

Who are we?

The Happy Hot Dog Hotel is run by humans; Suzanne & Ray Lythgow and supported by Freja, Izzac and our Sausage Support Team. The family have been owned by Dachshunds since 2012. When we opened the doors of  The Happy Hot Dog Hotel it was with our three sausages; Dexter, Dixie and Reggie.

We offer our guests a home from home experience ensuring they become part of the family.  All of our guests live in the family home. There is always a member of The Happy Hot Dog Hotel Team at home. We ensure the resident sausages are not left alone for any period of time, which in turns means that all of our guest sausages benefit from human contact throughout their stay.
