Dog-Friendly Breaks

Bring your dog along to any of our self-catering cottages, hotels, B&Bs and inns within this collection and they’ll be assured plenty of fuss. Some places offer baskets, bowls and treats, others offer chew toys and sausages at breakfast, and several will really spoil your dog with hampers and maps for local walks. Be sure to check the booking information section of each place for exact details of what to expect! We also launched our new Britain’s dog-friendly places to stay guide in Autumn 2019, which you can buy here.
