Premium pet-welcoming properties where your dogs are as welcome as you are
Luxury dog-friendly group cottages are premium group accommodation properties where dogs are genuinely welcomed — not merely tolerated. These properties feature enclosed gardens for safe off-lead play, dog washing stations, comfortable dog beds, and proximity to excellent walking routes, all without compromising on the luxury standards of the property itself.
The UK's most dog-friendly group cottages understand that for many groups, the question is not 'can we bring the dogs?' but 'which dog-friendly property will the dogs love as much as we do?'. Our collection answers that question.
Genuine luxury dog-friendly cottages go beyond just permitting dogs. They provide enclosed gardens or paddocks for safe off-lead exercise, easy-clean flooring in main living areas, designated dog sleeping areas, and direct access to dog walking routes from the property. Many include hot tubs and all the premium amenities you would expect, while ensuring the property works equally well for your dogs.
Dog-friendly doesn't mean compromising on quality. Our luxury pet-welcoming cottages maintain the same standards of interior design, kitchen specification, and overall comfort as our wider collection. The difference is that your dogs get their own welcome experience — from the first sniff of the country air through to the post-walk dog wash before the hot tub.
Enclosed gardens, washing stations and dog-specific welcome amenities.
Luxury standards throughout — great for dogs and their owners alike.
Dog-friendly cottages for groups of all sizes, all exclusive use.
The difference between a property that 'allows dogs' and one that genuinely welcomes them is significant. A truly dog-friendly property has been designed with dogs in mind — enclosed outdoor spaces so you don't need to watch every exit, easy-clean floors in the areas dogs naturally use, a hosepipe or dog shower for post-walk washing, and proximity to great walking routes. The best properties provide a dog welcome pack with beds, bowls and treats included.
Cornwall is the UK's most dog-friendly holiday destination — with hundreds of dog-welcoming beaches (many year-round), coastal paths that dogs love, and a culture that embraces travelling with dogs. The Lake District is perfect for active dogs and their owners, with exceptional fell walking. The Cotswolds provides excellent footpath networks and village pub gardens that welcome dogs.
Check how many dogs are permitted at your chosen property — most have a limit, typically 2–4 dogs, though some larger rural properties are more flexible. Confirm whether there are breed or size restrictions. Bring your own dog beds if your dogs are particular about their sleeping arrangements. Check local vet locations before you travel. And remember that dog welcome deposits or additional cleaning fees are standard at even the most dog-friendly properties.
