Luxury pet-free holiday cottages
For those in search of a pet-free holiday cottage in some of Britain’s most beautiful corners, our hand-picked collection showcases our extraordinary private homes where furry friends can “sit this one out.”
Because, sometimes, it’s nice to holiday as just the two of us. Or four. Or six. Without needing to pull 'selves from marshmallow beds pre-dawn for the first-of-the-day dog walk, to concern ourselves with keeping muddy paws off linen sofas, or leaving the beach early to prepare the six o’clock-sharp supper of kibble, chicken, and rice for “the other child.”
In this curated pet-free holiday cottage collection, we feature our unique homes that, well, just weren’t made for sandy paws. From rustic beach houses in Cornwall, to history-steeped castles in Somerset, architect-designed pavilions in Suffolk and grand country estates in the Cotswolds; if pet-free is your preference, this one’s for you.
