Your guide to great holidays and activities with your pets, right across the UK.
Do you love to travel and refuse to leave your pet behind?
You are in the right place. We help pet owners plan proper holidays across the UK, where your dog, cat, or any other four-legged family member is genuinely welcome.
Pet Friendly Holiday is an independent resource built by people who holiday with their own pets. We know what works, what to avoid, and where the good spots are. No fluff, just helpful and practical advice.
Our Paws For Thought blog covers everything from destination guides and beach walks to travel tips and packing lists. It is well worth a read.
Find the right pet friendly holiday rental, or discover fun activities anywhere in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
There is plenty to explore, and cats are very much welcome too.
Want to walk coastal paths, settle into a cosy cabin, or find a beach where the dog can actually run free? This is where you start. We cover accommodation, destinations, and practical advice right across the UK.
Why Use Pet Friendly Holiday?
Real Listings: We find accommodation throughout the UK that genuinely welcomes pets, not places that treat it as a reluctant exception. From snug cottages to well-equipped caravans, we only point you somewhere worth going.
Practical Travel Advice: Honest tips and guides on travelling with pets, so you arrive relaxed and your animal does too. No vague reassurances, just things that actually help.
Destinations Worth Visiting: We research places across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, so you spend less time searching and more time enjoying your trip.
Whether your companion is a dog, a cat, or something else entirely, Pet Friendly Holiday is a resource you can rely on when planning your next trip.
Travelling with a pet takes a bit more planning than going solo. We cover the practical side too, from keeping pets safe on the road to what to pack and how to find transport that actually accepts animals.
Just because you have a pet does not mean you should settle for dingy accommodation or awkward compromises. A great holiday is possible for the whole family, and we are here to help you find it.
Start exploring the blog and come back often. There is always something new worth reading.
We holiday with our own sausage dogs, so we know exactly what makes a great pet friendly break work in practice.
We also have a caravan we hire out on the Solway Coast in southern Scotland. We allow dogs as a matter of course, not as a grudging exception.
Come and visit the Southerness Parkdean Resort and your family gets all the on-site benefits and activities that come with it.

Southerness is a great destination for a family holiday, with miles of beaches, on-site entertainment, a swimming pool, arcades, and local pubs and takeaways nearby. There are also plenty of walks and nature trails for you and your dogs. The caravan has a genuine beach view, so sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself. The reviews speak for themselves.
Plan Ahead: Book our caravan well in advance. It fills up fast, so securing your dates early means you get the trip you actually want.
Pack Essentials: Bring your pet’s food, bowls, medications, favourite toys, bedding, and poop bags. Familiar items help them settle in quickly and enjoy the break as much as you do.
Explore Local Pet Friendly Facilities: Look for nearby restaurants, cafes, parks, and attractions that welcome dogs. Many display clear signage, making it easy to plan your days out around the whole family.
