Treat your Best Friend to a Dog Friendly Holiday

Holidays aren’t the same without the most important member of your family, and a dog friendly getaway is the perfect way for everyone to get away, have fun and enjoy their own space.

You’ll find a wonderful selection of dog friendly holidays with cottages.com, including farmhouses, country homes, modern apartments and more. There are Luxury and Truly Unique collections too, and you can even have your own hot tub.

The whole of the UK is so dog friendly now so where you go is entirely up to you. Here are a few holiday locations you may want to check out…

Cornwall: a stunning coast, smugglers’ coves and wonderful walks along the beach are guaranteed to take you and your four-legged friends’ breath away.

The Lake District: majestic mountains, deep valleys and tranquil lakes and tarns await in the Lakes. One of England’s most popular holiday destinations, needs little introduction.

Northern Scotland – a rugged wilderness, mountains, lochs and islands await to offer you a wealth of walking opportunities.

Norfolk: an unspoilt coast, beautiful low-lying countryside and the stunning Broads and wildlife make this a lovely place for a peaceful walk.

Go walking along golden beaches and paddle in the sea; meander on the moors and hike through gorgeous countryside together before you end the day at a dog-friendly pub. How much better does that sound then a holiday in the kennels?

We all love holidays and dogs are no different. If you’re looking to get away then here are a few seasonal highlights:

Spring is the time of year to get outside again with your four legged friend. The days are longer, the air is fresher, the birds sing louder and the sun shines brighter.

Summer can sometimes be hot so avoid taking your dog out at midday and head for places where there is somewhere to cool off: shady forests, the coast, rivers or lakes.

Autumn is a perfect time to set off with your dog; it’s not too hot nor too cold, plus there are stunning natural colours, crisp fallen leaves and spectacular sunsets.

Winter is a great time to combine invigorating walks with doggy snuggles in front of a roaring fire, baking some doggie treats or teaching them new tricks.

At cottages.com we make it easy to find your ideal dog friendly property and perfect location and our owners really do go that extra mile to make everyone feel welcome.

You can find enclosed gardens, locations close to some of the best beaches and walks in the UK – even tail-wagging welcome packs!  So why would you even consider leaving your dog behind?

Whether you want a full week, a few days away at the weekend or a flexible start date and duration, you will be delighted at the wonderful choice and so will your furry friend! Take a look at a few brilliant pet friendly breaks below, and find more on our Dog and Pet Friendly Breaks page.
