Dog-friendly holidays across the UK
This is the Paws and Stay full collection: every dog-friendly holiday in one place, across 23 regions in the UK. Browse by region, by garden category, or by the kind of trip you're after - somewhere with an enclosed garden, a cabin with a hot tub, or a remote place for an anxious or reactive dog. Every place is visited in person by one of our team, and their dog(s) before it joins the collection. We stay, we explore, and we get a real feel for each place so we can tell you about it honestly, not just based on what we see in a few photos. So, when we say somewhere is dog-friendly, you can trust that we truly mean it.

What makes a holiday truly 'dog friendly'?
We think a great dog-friendly holiday looks like lots of outdoor space to explore, plus a cosy indoor space to relax in, for the best of both worlds. Most of our dog-friendly places in the Paws & Stay collection tend to be in the countryside, in secluded spots and away from the hustle and bustle of bigger towns or cities. We know many guests have dogs who are nervous, shy or reactive, and these places are ideal for dogs who might want peace and quiet on holiday - because all dogs deserve their perfect holiday!
We love places where you can walk for hours right from your door, and have an enclosed garden where it’s safe for your dog to be off the lead and run around in circles with excitement. You should feel free, either to roam or be at home, and spend your time somewhere where you get to make memories with your four-legged best friend.

Dog-friendly holidays by the experts
Paws & Stay is a UK dog-friendly holiday website created by animal lovers who understand the frustration of “dog-tolerant” accommodation and the joy of a truly dog-friendly place to stay. There’s no need to go scanning all the information about our places to see if it’s ok to bring your dog. It is. In fact, it’s more than ok, it’s welcomed and celebrated. That’s why they’re part of Paws & Stay. In our collection, you'll find dog-friendly cottages in both town and countryside locations, remote dog-friendly cottages in rural areas for nervous or reactive dogs, dog-friendly cabins for a cosy weekend getaway, luxury dog-friendly holidays for those special occasions where your four-legged friend can come along too, and also dog-friendly places by the sea for the salty sea dogs of the world.
We look for places that go above and beyond for your dog, like cottages with an enclosed garden or an outdoor wash area for muddy paws, as well as owners that will welcome them with a treat or two, or allow your dog(s) to stay without any additional fees. Our dog-friendly cottages are also pretty special for humans too, you'll find things like hot tubs and outdoor baths, BBQs and firepits, and sweeping views from a private deck.

Dog-friendly holidays with Paws & Stay
How do you know somewhere is a perfect Paws & Stay place?
We know a Paws & Stay place is right for us, when we inspect it and love it. Every single place on Paws & Stay has been visited overnight by one of our team of dog-friendly accommodation experts personally, to check that it really does have what we know our guests are looking for when they come to book with us. Over the years we've really taken the time to understand what our guests are looking for, and hopefully that is reflected within our collection and the information we provide for each place. We believe in visiting and getting a real feel for a place, so that we can represent it to you accurately and honestly.
What will I find at my Paws & Stay place?
We don’t make sure all our places are the same. Quite the opposite. Whether you're in Cornwall or Herefordshire, we choose our places for character and individuality, celebrating their differences. You’ll find quality and comfort, but in a huge range of styles and settings. We’re as excited by a wonky, rustic cottage as we are by a beautifully-designed Scandi eco home. As long as it’s got a bit of personality and warmly welcomes your dogs and you, and offers what we know our guests want, it's for Paws & Stay.
Where can I go with Paws & Stay?
We choose our dog-friendly holidays carefully to make sure we only work with the truly dog-friendly ones that have a touch of magic about them for humans too. We’re adding great discoveries to our dog-friendly collection all the time and continuing to add places in areas we know are great dog-friendly destinations to visit, so soon we’ll be bringing you dog-friendly cottages from the Lake District to the heart of Devon and everywhere in between.
What is included with a Paws & Stay holiday?
Every Paws & Stay listing tells you upfront what to expect when you bring your dog. You’ll see the garden category clearly stated as secure, enclosed or open, so there are no surprises when you arrive. We also tell you about any important information before you book - including the size and boundaries of the garden, whether your dog can sleep on the bed, if there is any livestock nearby, and how close the nearest property is. Our aim is simple: clear, useful information that helps you choose the right place for you and your dog, without compromise, and without having to dig through the small print or make a dozen enquiries before booking.
