Find pet friendly accommodation for your holiday

Take the entire family on holiday this year, including your dog!



Pet friendly holidaysOften when you decide to take a holiday you would ideally like to be surrounded by your whole family; including your pets. In the past, taking a holiday with a pet has been inconvenient and hard to arrange, but the increase in pet friendly accommodation, travel options and a change in regulations for travelling with animals abroad means that holidays with pets are now a far more feasible option and do not require much more planning.

Private holiday accommodation is the perfect solution for taking a holiday with pets, as there is plenty of space and no extra costs involved. Taking your cat or dog on holiday not only saves money on kennel costs, but allows you to relax, safe in the knowledge that your pet is safe and sound. Many holiday home owners are more than happy to welcome pets, marking their properties as pet friendly holiday rentals. To find the ideal pet friendly holiday cottage, choose your destination and select 'pets considered' from the search links in the left hand column to find only pet welcome holiday cottages.

DEFRA have had a reform in the regulations which allow the free movement of pets re-entering the UK, which means that holidays with dogs or other pets to pet friendly holiday rentals abroad are much easier to arrange. DEFRA's Pet Travel Scheme (PETS), states that as long as you meet the set requirements, pets welcomed back into the UK do not need to go into quarantine.

When people talk of pet friendly holidays, they are usually talking specifically about holidays with dogs. It is always recommended to talk to the owner directly about the suitability of their dog friendly holiday rental before booking your holiday with a dog. If you are travelling with another type of pet, it is strongly advised that you consult the owner first.
