Luxury dog-friendly cottages
If you're setting out to explore Britain's wild landscapes with a faithful companion in tow, this curated collection of luxury dog friendly cottages includes, paws-down, the best kept secrets on the canine travel scene.
Weekends together are better when the whole family's involved, four-legged friends included. In our curated collection of pet friendly cottages, there's hampers of tasty artisan treats on arrival, cosy dog beds settled right by the fire, and secret gardens that'll set tails wagging. So, round up your pack and make for a luxurious dog friendly holiday home in the UK, to places where dogs can spend their days in the woods, chasing each other’s tails and making impish plans to bury sticks.
From bounding across miles of golden beaches in Cornwall to padding through heather-cloaked moorland in Devon, a stay in one of our luxury dog friendly cottages is sure to be one fine adventure. With the sun on your face, take a trail down to one of the nation's secret coastal hotspots, letting the dogs race ahead for their morning ocean rituals. Or hike up one of the Lake District's peaks to blow off the cobwebs, before returning home to a balmy hot tub while the pups dream of foxes by the fireside.
