6 luxury dog-friendly UK getaways with 15% Off

As someone relatively new to dog ownership, I’ve quickly fallen completely head over heels for my gorgeous Sprockerpoo – and I’ve also discovered that having a dog changes the way you think about getting away.

Finding somewhere lovely to stay is one thing, but finding somewhere that genuinely welcomes dogs makes all the difference. I don't want to stay somewhere that merely tolerates my furry friend – if she can't sleep on the bed and snuggle with me on the sofa, then, frankly, I'd rather stay at home. But I also want somewhere that feels like a treat for me, too, with a beautiful setting, luxurious rooms, great food and plenty of places nearby to get out for a proper walk.

So, you can imagine my delight when I heard about The Inn Collection Group recently. Its traditional pub-with-rooms are found in some of the UK’s best spots for a dog-friendly break, from the Lake District and Northumberland coast to North Wales.

So, whether you’re planning a walking weekend, a quiet coastal escape or simply fancy a change of scenery where your dog will be made truly welcome, these inns offer a great base for exploring together.

And there’s a bonus for Woman & Home readers: we’ve secured an exclusive discount to help you save on your next dog-friendly getaway – readers can receive 15% off their stay, plus dogs stay free, when booking with the exclusive code WOOF15.
