Holiday ideas for people with dogs

[Strawbs]

We have recently gotten a dog and are after some ideas of places we can go for weekends away / holidays that take dogs and also places that are not only dog friendly but where the dog has space to play etc..

thanks peoples..

I hear the that the far east is more than happy to accomadate those travelling with dogs. Keep a close eye on your pooch when your hosts mouths start to water though.

Nah. I?m guessing the girls are thinking of somewhere in the UK, what with the quarantine laws and all that?

yep Hal you are right.. we dont have a car but would hire one but still somewhere not super far away so we can comfortably go for a weekend.. x

Norfolk is lovely - lots of nice walks, vast beautiful beaches (Holkham beach allows dogs all year round), and plenty of dog friendly pubs. We stayed in a lovely place called Strattons in Swaffam (not the most picturesque town, but the hotel was lovely) - hotel is very dog friendly and even supplied our dogs with fresh pork crackling as a treat! Norfolk is only a few hours drive from London.

Is that little 'x' for me? I'm blushing. Here you go sweetie: dog friendly holidays. Bonnes vacances!

We had memorable holidays as kids taking boating holidays, it was one of the few ways of taking a dog along, there were no such places as dog friendly hotels and I doubt we could have afforded it...he only went in once and it was in a lock and we all panicked but I think he just shook himself off and enjoyed all the fussing!!

I've heard there's a nice hotel in Barking.

St Andews Lodge Hotel in Selsey Sussex. Have a single level annexe of rooms and large garden, very dog friendly. Does B & B only around ?70 a night for double room in high season. Plenty of areas to walk round. Beach can be used outside the main holiday season.
