We’re incredibly lucky in the UK to have so many diverse landscapes to explore including coast, countryside and city centres. The hardest part is knowing where to start but the below destinations have something for everyone:
There are lots of dog-friendly rooms to choose from but our favourites are Forest Park Country Hotel and Inn and Thatched Cottage Hotel.
The price of your stay will depend on your travel dates and the hotel you choose.
Again, this depends on the hotel you choose but pet-friendly rooms usually include a dog bed, dog blanket and dog treats.
For great views, we recommend the Penny Farthing Hotel and Cottages and The Angel and Blue Pig.
If you have a specific budget in mind, our team can recommend accommodation. But some of the most popular choices include the Fountain Inn, Educatefirst and The Holiday Inn Express.
