Dog-friendly holidays

Take a look at our full selection of the best dog-friendly places to stay, which we've sniffed out across the UK.

Our dog-friendly holiday guide to Totnes

Whether your dog is happiest splashing in the river, sniffing out treats and treasures at the market, or storming a castle, there’s something to set every tail wagging in Totnes

Our top dog friendly cottages in Devon with enclosed gardens

Whether you're looking for a rural retreat to gallivant across the fields or something closer to the coast for those wide-open panoramas, we've got the perfect place for you and your little friend.

The dog-friendly holiday checklist

We’ve had our team talk to their dogs and created a checklist of the items they couldn’t do without when they’re on the road.

Where did Paws & Stay come from?

Paws & Stay came from frustration, which sounds like a bad start but can lead to great things. The team that created Sawday’s and Canopy & Stars, specialists in amazing places to stay, noticed that dog-friendly meant very different things to different people. They decided to seek out the people who ran dog-friendly cottages in the UK with an ear scratching, belly rubbing passion, while still making sure they were pretty great for humans to stay in as well.

What makes a place right for Paws & Stay

We look for dogs to be provided for in a way that shows the owner has really thought it through. Enclosed garden space for exercise is extremely important, while somewhere for the dog to sleep and a setting that gives plenty of scope for walks are a few of our checkpoints. What really wins us over are the little things - treat jars, toys and even welcome letters and doggy beer have all been excitedly reported by our inspectors.

How do we know each place is good enough?

Because we’ve been there. We’ve taken in the views (the humans that is), snuffled in the garden (the dogs) and talked to the owner (both, but with varying levels of understanding). So we know a holiday cottage in Devon or Cornwall is truly dog friendly because we’ve gone to check and come back with tongues and tails wagging.

Where will I find Paws & Stay places?

Well, there are plenty of dog-friendly holiday cottages in Devon and Cornwall of course, but we’ve fetched a few from Aberdeenshire and Cumbria to Ceredigion and Sussex. It’s a small collection at the moment, because we’re looking for the places that really understand what makes a dog-friendly holiday great. We’ll be adding more soon, wherever we can sniff them out.
