Dog-friendly holiday parks & lodge holidays

Choose the right accommodation

When it comes to dog-friendly holidays in the UK, finding suitable accommodation is key. Thankfully, we have a wide range of pet-friendly options all over the UK, with nearly 500 dog-friendly lodges, over 650 dog-friendly holiday parks and more than 12,000 dog-friendly cottages! We welcome over 170,000 pets every year, and some of our properties even allow pets free of charge. When searching on our website, make the most of handy features like "Pet Friendly" and "Pets Free of Charge" to tailor your results. Pay attention to things like how secure the garden is and if there are any restrictions on where the dog can go inside the lodge or cottage, or around the holiday park. Many establishments provide amenities specifically tailored to pets, such as beds, water bowls and even dog-washing stations, ensuring a comfortable stay for both you and your furry friend. There's also no need to compromise on style or luxury - our dog-friendly lodges with hot tubs have got you covered!

Tip: We also offer multi-dog holidays and unique dog-friendly glamping holidays.

Check the rules for sites and attractions

Dog-friendly weekend breaks and long holidays in the UK offer a multitude of attractions and activities that cater to both human and canine interests. Visit dog-friendly castles, gardens and heritage sites, where your pup can explore alongside you. Be sure to check for any rules and restrictions – you’ll usually need to keep your dog on a lead and certain areas may be out of bounds. It goes without saying you’ll want to keep these historic sites and beautiful grounds clean, so please make sure you pick up any mess your dog makes.

Know the seasonal restrictions for beaches and National Parks

The UK is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and their furry friends, with an abundance of beaches, national parks and scenic trails. Just make sure you know the rules around taking your dog in advance. Many beaches typically have restrictions in place during peak months from May to September, and often dogs need to be kept on leads in National Parks due to wildlife or grazing stock. Beware of restrictions changing and don’t assume the rules are the same everywhere, otherwise you may end up with a nasty fine! Check out our dog-friendly beach holidays for more inspiration. And, speaking of seasonal, we've also got thousands of dog-friendly Christmas breaks!

Sometimes, it can be stressful enough sorting out a last-minute holiday for yourself, let alone finding somewhere for your dog as well! Weather looking sunny next week and you want to make the most of it with a dog-friendly holiday in Dorset or Devon? Or perhaps you've had a stressful week at work and want to spend the weekend going for scenic walks and cosy pub lunches on a dog-friendly holiday in Norfolk or Yorkshire? With our dog-friendly lodges it really can be a walk in the park to organise a pet-friendly holiday in the UK, even at the very last minute. To help ease some of the stress that often comes with taking your pet on holiday with you, be sure to make a thorough packing list of everything your dog will need while you're away, and check sites and activities in advance to make sure you understand any rules and restrictions around bringing your furry friend along.
