Luxury dog-friendly cottages

Bringing the dog should not mean settling for less. These are our most special places - cottages with stylish interiors, hot tubs and outdoor baths, wood burners and heated floors, private grounds and secure gardens where the dog is as welcome as you are. Every place is visited in person before it joins the collection, and each listing states exactly where your dog can and cannot go.

What makes these cottages luxury

Luxury at Paws & Stay is about the whole stay. Beautiful spaces, thoughtful details and somewhere that feels genuinely special. You’ll find cottages with standout features such as hot tubs, outdoor baths, wood burners and underfloor heating, alongside private grounds, generous acreage and views worth travelling for. 

We keep the bar high, drawing on the quality and character you’d expect from our sister brands Sawday’s and Canopy & Stars, but with one important difference - we look at every place through a dog’s eyes too. Luxury doesn’t mean your dog is shut away in a utility room or restricted to one corner of the cottage. Our luxury stays are properly dog-friendly, with the same care given to your four-legged guest as to everything else. You can have the hot tub, the views and the wood burner - and your dog can have a holiday too.

About Paws & Stay luxury dog-friendly cottages

Where did Paws & Stay come from?

Knowing where something comes from can be pretty handy. That way, your beagle doesn’t turn out to be a wolfhound (and the bed you bought them to grow into doesn’t end up as a slipper). We use our experience finding unique places to stay for Sawday’s and Canopy & Stars to sniff out special spots where humans and dogs are both welcomed like guests.

What makes a place right for Paws & Stay

That all comes down to its dog friendliness! We like a place where the dog’s welcomed as another guest. But what can that look like? Well, in every place it’s different. It could be a dog exercise field, or it could be a special dog shower, or even doggy beer! But often, it can look very similar, which is why many of our spaces have enclosed gardens, or dog beds and dog bowls left out for them!

How do we know each place is good enough?

Good question! You want to know when you pick a place, that it’s all it’s cracked up to be. That’s why we send inspectors to every place we have, at least one human, and at least one dog. We get a feel for the place, chat to the owners, have a little sniff around (that’s the dog part), and generally make sure it’s the kind of place that we’d like to stay ourselves.

Where will I find Paws & Stay places?

We’ve got places all the way from the tip of Cornwall to the Scottish Lowlands, and places all the way in between. You could hit the beach in Cornwall and Devon, explore the midlands for the miles of unbroken countryside or hop the border to Wales and find hidden waterfalls and lofty peaks. We’ve new places coming on every week – so check back in to find our newest dog friendly getaways.
