Find your base

A dog-lover’s haven

Our hand-picked collection includes luxurious properties that tick the boxes for animals and their owners. Each is unique, so the set-up may vary, but most dog-friendly boltholes welcome up to two well-behaved pets. You’ll usually find enclosed gardens, with some offering extras like water bowls, beds and treats.

Coast and countryside

Exploring together

Our boltholes act as a gateway to some of the UK’s finest coast and countryside. So, why not bring your dog along, too? Our pet-friendly homes form the perfect base for shared walks, from the rolling hills of West Sussex to the South West Coast Path. We can recommend guides and routes for each property, making it easy to get out and stretch your legs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all your cottages dog-friendly?

A large proportion of our cottages are dog friendly, and we’ll always do our best to make this clear within a property’s description. If you’re keen to check, you’ll find information within the ‘Finer details’ section of each page. 

How many dogs can we bring?

Typically, most of our pet-friendly holiday cottages are happy to welcome up to two dogs. This might vary from place to place, however, so do check if you have a specific property in mind. 

Do the cottages have enclosed gardens for dogs?

If a property is dog-friendly, it’ll usually feature enclosed gardens and gates, to keep your pets safe. If there are less secure areas, we’ll always aim to highlight this within a property’s listing, to help you make a confident decision. 

Is there a charge for bringing a dog?

Four-legged friends are welcome in our dog-friendly cottages, with the small charge for this set by the property’s owner. This means the cost may vary slightly from property to property, so do take a look at the listing to be sure. 

What dog-friendly walks are nearby?

On a dog-friendly holiday, there's nothing nicer than pulling on wellies or comfy shoes and heading out for a walk. In Sussex, many of our properties sit close to the South Downs Way and dog-friendly stretches of coast near Chichester. In Surrey, you're minutes from the Surrey Hills' woodland and heathland trails. Further afield, our Scottish and Isle of Wight properties open onto coastal paths of their own. Most properties will contain a guide to some of the best local routes.

Can I leave my dog alone in the cottage?

We ask that dogs (even very well-behaved ones) aren’t left alone in our properties. However, because so many are set in rural locations, with large grounds, coastal paths and acres of countryside to explore, you’ll find there’s no shortage of dog-friendly activities. 

What do the cottages provide for dogs?

Many of our dog-friendly boltholes provide essentials like food and water bowls, beds, and treats, but this can vary depending on where you’re staying. We’d recommend checking with us in advance if there’s something you really need.

Are cats or other pets welcome?

Yes, cats are usually welcome in our pet-friendly properties (but do check as this may vary). Although requests are rare, we’re also happy to accommodate other pets, such as hamsters. Additionally, some holiday houses offer stabling on request.
