Walking With Your Dog
We are often asked for dog-friendly walks so we have created some special itineraries with you and your dog in mind. These routes have been selected as we are able to book accommodation that is suitable for both of you – either in the location you walk to, or close by with a transfer.
Whichever route you choose, the choice of accommodation with a dog is more limited than usual, sometimes only one or two accommodations are available in certain locations. The more flexible you can be, the more chance we have of being able to arrange your holiday. For instance, you may have one or two nights without en-suite facilities or you may have to spend two nights in one location (with transfers). As availability is often very limited we strongly recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
Please note that some accommodations only accept small dogs, so we will need to know your dog’s breed to ensure we book the appropriate overnight stay. Also, some will not allow dogs into the bedroom, so occasionally your dog may be expected to stay in another room in the house, such as the conservatory. Just let us know if this is not suitable and again we will take this into account when booking.
As you will be staying in unfamiliar places you will also need to consider if your dog will be happy with this and if he/she can be left alone without getting upset and causing damage.
You will need to bring dog food, towels and bedding for your dog and it is best to have this transported with your luggage between locations. If you cannot fit this into your own luggage bag within the weight allowance, you will need to book an extra piece of luggage to be transported with our luggage courier. Please ask us for a quote for this.
Most of our accommodation providers do make an additional charge for dogs. This is an extra cost in addition to the published holiday price and you will need to settle this directly with the accommodation owner(s).
