It’s time to reward our loyal, four-legged friends.
It’s been a ‘ruff’ year for all of us, including our pets. They’ve kept us sane through the lockdowns, sat by us through endless Netflix scrolling, and provided much-needed entertainment on zoom calls. Soon it’ll be time to shake off the lockdown blues and go fetch an adventure – forget the kennels, invite your pets along for a trip to remember.
From quaint cottages to lodges and luxury penthouses, we’ve hand-picked some of the best pet-friendly holidays in the UK. Remember, it’s not just you who deserves a treat…

If your pets have become acclimatised to the life of luxury, then this is the deal for you (and them). Within walking distance of two dog-friendly beaches, this beautiful three-bedroom detached cottage offers the perfect base from which to explore. With more than 50 golden sandy beaches, Pembrokeshire is renowned for its picturesque coastline. If that’s not enough, mix things up with a hike in the rugged Preseli Mountains, perfect for tiring out your lockdown companion! Holidays are best with the whole family and this coastal cottage has room for everyone. Sleeps six. Two well-behaved dogs welcome.
Lake Lodge, Bowness-On-Windermere

So, dust off those hiking boots and spend your days exploring the breathtaking trails. With gastropubs galore in the nearby village of Bowness, you won’t be short of culinary delights to sample.

After a year indoors, get back to nature with a long soak under the stars.
