StayCays are the new AwayCays

If you’re anything like us, holidays aren’t quite right unless you’ve got your dog by your side. Not only this, but it can be a right pain in the ass trying to find someone to look after your dog if you’re going abroad. Or worst case scenario you have to put them in the dreaded kennels, which is obviously not a pleasant experience for your pooch and costs you a bomb too.

Luckily for you, there are a huge range of options right hear on our doorstep that welcome in both two-legged and four-legged guests alike. Most do add-on on a charge for your extra guest, but the benefits far out way the cost. Plus with all the new floofs in the UK and the increasing popularity of holidaying in the UK since covid, hotels are going above and beyond to cater for pets. Offering things like pooch pampering sessions, jars of treats at every turn, and even doggy room service, meaning it might just be your pooch that comes away feeling the most relaxed!

We’ve scoured the lands and rounded up some of the best dog-friendly hotels in the UK. Including an option for everyone, from luxury spa breaks to cosy pubs with rooms and everything in between. Organised by region so you can jump to your preferred destination.
