Dog-Friendly Cottages in the UK

Planning a cottage break with your dog? Browse UK holiday cottages that welcome dogs and use the filters to choose a destination, group size and other requirements, including an enclosed garden where available.

Dog-friendly stays are not all the same. One cottage may accept a single dog while another may allow more; some charge a pet supplement, and others have specific rules about furniture, bedrooms or outdoor areas. An enclosed garden can also vary in size, boundary and suitability for different dogs. Read the individual property details carefully before booking.

A dog-friendly label tells you that dogs are accepted, but the practical details are property-specific. Before booking, check:

  • How many dogs can stay: Confirm the maximum number permitted for your dates.
  • The garden and grounds: “Enclosed” does not always mean suitable for every size or temperament of dog.
  • House rules: Check restrictions on furniture, bedrooms and areas of the property.
  • Local access: Look at nearby walking routes, livestock, roads and seasonal beach restrictions.
  • Pet charges: Confirm any supplement, cleaning cost or refundable deposit before you book.

Plan the rest of your dog-friendly break
