Holiday lodges are a great base for couples, families and groups of friends to enjoy a UK holiday, but they don’t all allow visitors to bring along their pet dogs.
To save you searching through hundreds of websites for suitable options we’ve pulled together this list of ten of the best dog friendly UK holiday lodges, making booking that much needed break a piece of cake.
1. York Lakeside Lodges, York
Situated in stunning woodlands just ten miles from the centre of historic York, guests with dogs can enjoy on-site fishing and country walks, or make sense of the day kennel facility for a day out sightseeing. Ebor Lodge sleeps 3, and the Jorvik Lodge sleeps up to 5.
There’s also some things to do with your family as well. With a Park and Ride coach running from the lodges to York’s city centre, restaurants, shops and a sports centre are all available to you. They might not be the most appropriate for your dog but they help add a little variety in to your stay.
