When you go on holiday in the UK, there’s no need to leave your four-legged friends behind. We feature a range of luxury dog-friendly cottages all over England, Scotland, and Wales.
Whether you have a small pooch or a couple of hounds in tow, we have a pet-friendly cottage to suit you all. From a cosy home in the countryside or one that’s just a few steps from a beach, they are within easy reach of fantastic places for walkies and many other dog-friendly activities.
Space for dog beds and enclosed gardens are just some of the features you will find, while many properties have a hot tub or a wood burner too, so there is no need to compromise on luxury.
Choosing a dog-friendly cottage with an enclosed garden means your furry friend can wander freely outdoors whenever they need some fresh air. As an important family member they can enjoy a luxury escape just as much as you. After a long walk in the countryside or at the coast, there’s nothing better than retuning to your cottage to relax. So, if the weather is good, head outside for a picnic on the lawn or a lunch made from local goodies and unwind all together.
Being able to relax with your pups on holiday is important. So treat yourself to a well-earned break in a dog friendly cottage with a hot tub for total indulgence.
By day, relax in the fresh air before enjoying your lunch alfresco. In the evening, sit under the stars, miles from day-to-day stresses, in a steaming, bubbling hot tub and allow those aches to melt away. Bliss.
The lapping of the waves and the feeling of the sand beneath your feet (and paws) can be one of the greatest ways to unwind and relax on holiday.
Take a break in a pet-friendly cottage by the sea to enjoy long beach walks, paddles in the water and the very best of the UK’s coastline,
Devon, Cornwall and the Llyn Peninsula are just a few places to choose from. Our selection of luxury, self-catering beach houses are in idyllic locations, near the sea for you and your dog to enjoy.
Countryside Dog-friendly Lodges
The great outdoors is the best playground for your dog and brilliant for you to begin to unwind away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Fresh country air, wide open spaces and stunning views await.
After long countryside walks, climbing over stiles and running through fields, return to settle in for the evening in your rural lodge.

Cabins also form part of the dog-friendly mix – ideal for walks, nature and more.

It’s wise to check the specific listing’s rules, especially under the “House Rules” section, or to contact Guest Services to clarify.
Yes, here are common rules or considerations you’ll likely face.
For dog-friendly cottages, owners typically note whether gardens are enclosed (for safety) to let dogs roam more freely.
Some dog-friendly properties may impose limitations (number of dogs, behaviour, cleaning surcharges, supervision and no dogs on furniture or upstairs), so you should always check the specific listing’s rules.
In shared estates or complexes, there might be additional rules about noise, where dogs can go, or shared facilities.
Yes, this is one of the strong selling points of many dog-friendly cottages:
Many dog-friendly cottages are located close to rural trails, countryside pathways, and scenic walking routes.
Some cottage descriptions (especially cabins or rural homes) include suggestions for dog-friendly pubs or local stops for meals, where muddy paws are welcome
Guest Services are always on hand to make suggestions and recommendations.
