The 5 Best UK Locations for Family Trips (Including Your Dog!)
I know the hardest part about leaving on a family holiday is when you have to say goodbye to your beloved canine as you drop it off at the nearest puppy hotel. Not only is it upsetting to not be around your furry friend, but boarding can be expensive! Have you ever thought about going on holidays with your dog? Knowing how important pets can be to families, more and more cottages are allowing them to tag along, too. Here is a list of the five best locations in the United Kingdom that have dog friendly accommodations!
Cornwall
Not only is this a majorly popular destination for holiday in general, it is also a huge destination for people who bring dogs along for the trip! Just last year, Cornwall had over thirteen thousand canine visitors, which dominates any other area in the UK. They are known for their endless beaches and warm weather all year long.
This is a perfect place to maximise outdoor time in the off season, which your puppy will thank you for. With so many four-legged visitors, many of the tourist attractions have opened their doors up to allow them in.
Peak District
Peak District is an obvious favourite for any family with a dog. It is a massive National Park with green hills and valleys as far as the eye can see. With plenty of room for your pet to run wild, you are bound to see some natural beauty. It is home to over one hundred pubs that are dog-friendly, and there are many cottage options in the area that accept families with dogs.
A must-see is the Chatsworth House where Pride and Prejudice was filmed. Best of all, it’s another place on the list that lets in dogs.
North York Moors
Another popular National Park destination is North York Moors. It has a breathtaking combination of cliffs, beaches and heather moorland. Similar to a grassland, it is inevitably a place that your dog will love!
This is also the destination with the highest number of pet-friendly cottages. Having almost four hundred rental options available, you will definitely find a place to relax. It has a fairly warm climate all year long, making it a great place for anyone who loves to take long strolls with their family and four-legged companion.
Lake District
At the Lake District, there is a variety of outdoor activities to enjoy with the family. It is home to the highest mountain in England, Scaffel Pike. Rising up 978 meters, it is a possible hike for anyone in good shape—and your dog can tag along too.
Getting to the top is rewarding as it is home to the highest war memorial in England. For those of you who might be more into history, this area has twenty heritage sites that all allow canines to explore with you. Also, if you’re wondering why it is called the Lake District, you can explore many of the sixteen bodies of water in the area with some even including free dog admission on cruises.
Yorkshire Dales
Yorkshire Dales is the perfect place for families with all abilities. Miles without Stiles offers forty-eight trails that are made for people who use wheelchairs or who are visually impaired. All seventeen trails in Yorkshire Dales are dog friendly. This National Park will give you a different choice of trail and scenery for every day you visit. Coupled with that and the multiple cottages that are available around the park, it is a perfect destination for your family holiday.
If you are planning a get-away and do not want to leave your dog at home, consider heading to the United Kingdom. They have a wide selection of pet-friendly cottages, and the businesses would love to see your furry friends! A family holiday just would not be the same without every member.
