Luxury dog-friendly cottages
If you're setting out to explore Britain's wild landscapes with your pet 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 companions included. From bounding across miles of golden beaches in Cornwall to padding through heather-cloaked moorland in Devon, a stay in one of our dog-friendly holiday homes 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 dip in the sea. 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.
Within our curated collection of pet-friendly cottages, you’ll find thoughtful touches ranging from hampers filled with artisan treats on arrival to cosy dog beds settled right by the fire, and secret gardens that'll set tails wagging. Stay in a Victorian cabin set within 200 acres of wild Shropshire woodland, a cottage on the quiet eastern shores of Loch Lomond, or a breezy beach house overlooking Cornwall's iconic Whitsand Bay. Round up your pack and make for a place where dogs can spend their days in the woods, chasing each other and making impish plans to bury sticks on the beach.
