It’s important to choose pet-friendly accommodation that works for both you and your dog. Here are our top tips for finding the perfect dog-friendly stay:
Different accommodation types suit different kinds of break. Cottages are ideal if you’re after privacy and a more traditional home-from-home feel, while lodges tend to offer modern, open-plan spaces in scenic or rural locations. On the other hand, holiday parks can be a good option for families or groups, with shared facilities and a more sociable atmosphere.
It’s also worth considering whether your dog would prefer a private or shared environment. Standalone properties offer more space and privacy, which can be better for nervous dogs, while shared or park-style settings often include more facilities but mean being around other guests and dogs.
Booking dog-friendly accommodation doesn’t mean compromising on your ideal getaway. With our handy filters, you can narrow things down to exactly what you’re after. Dog-friendly with a sea view and a hot tub? No problem, we’ve got you covered. You can also tailor your search based on how many dogs are coming along, whether it’s just the one pampered pooch or the whole pack.
Some of these dog-friendly stays really do go the extra mile. From enclosed gardens to thoughtful touches like treats and welcome packs, it’s worth checking the listing details to find somewhere that feels just as special for your dog as it does for you.
Keep these tips in mind and you’ll be all set for a tail-wagging getaway to remember.
Choosing the right dog-friendly location is about finding a destination that suits both you and your dog. Across the UK, different environments offer very different experiences, from energetic coastal breaks to peaceful countryside retreats and convenient town-based stays.
Coastal destinations such as Cornwall, Northumberland and Devon are ideal for dogs that love long walks, open spaces and fresh air thanks to clifftop paths, coastal trails and dog-friendly beaches. This array of options makes coastal destinations popular for active dogs and owners who plan to spend plenty of time outdoors.
On the other hand, countryside destinations including the Cotswolds, New Forest and the Yorkshire Dales tend to be quieter and more spacious, with access to fields, lakes, woodland walks and rural trails. These areas are well suited to dogs that prefer calm surroundings, as well as owners looking for slower-paced breaks with locations away from busy tourist hotspots.
Town-based locations such as Whitby, Keswick and Windermere place you and your pooch close to shops, cafés, vets and transport links, which can be practical for shorter breaks or travelling with family. Many towns now offer dog-friendly cafés, pubs and walking routes, though they can feel busier at peak times.
However, those looking for stays better suited to dogs that are nervous around noise, traffic or around large groups of people, remote and rural destinations are perfect. Places like the Scottish Highlands, Brecon Beacons, Dartmoor and the Yorkshire Moors offer greater privacy and tranquillity, with fewer crowds and more space to explore.
Different parts of the UK suit different dogs and travel styles:
For active dogs: Coastal areas and national parks are ideal, offering long-distance walking routes, varied terrain and plenty of outdoor adventure.
For nervous or older dogs: Quiet countryside villages and rural retreats provide calmer environments with fewer distractions.
For families travelling with dogs: Towns and coastal resorts can offer a good balance of dog-friendly beaches, attractions and practical amenities.
For couples with dogs: Remote coastal or countryside locations are often preferred for peaceful walks, scenic views and relaxed days outdoors.
