Some pubs, cottages, hotels and camping sites can be downright rude in their approach to allowing pets to stay with their owners. However, it’s refreshing to see that more and more establishments are seeing the light, and making positive efforts to encourage pet owners to stay with their favourite animal. Whilst it’s true that most of these animals will be dogs, some hotels have reported seeing residents with cats, parrots and even hamsters – in cages of course!
Whether you are looking for a pet friendly hotel in beautiful West Cornwall, or a pet tolerant cottage in the North of Scotland, there are hundreds of businesses that welcome visitors complete with their pets. People aren’t just looking for pet friendly places to stay – many parks, woods, beaches and heaths allow dogs to be exercised on their land all year round. Whilst busy areas may have restrictions in the summer months, it’s not hard to find somewhere to exercise Rufus, Bonzo or Delilah.
Many owners of dog friendly establishments will be dog owners themselves, and are understanding of all the needs. Small treats for good behaviour and a regular supply of drinking water are little details that make so much difference. Wherever you want to stay in the UK, there’s a terrific choice of pet friendly places that make a big effort to encourage you, and your pet, to take advantage of all the amenities they can offer.
