There’s so much on offer in the Cotswolds for both dogs and humans. After all, it stretches across five counties and encompasses a few Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Wander through quaint market towns and Cotswold villages and stop off for cream tea at a cafe. Allow your dog to run free in the rolling hills. And if you prefer to take it slow, there’s plenty of village pubs and coaching inns with dog-friendly rooms, fires lit and delicious menus for furry and non-furry friends.
Plus, to help you to plan a stress-free getaway, we’ve got plenty of dog-friendly hotels in the Cotswolds. From a country pub with rooms on the high street to a grand manor house hotel or country house lodge in the heart of the Cotswolds, a charming bed and breakfast sitting on the banks of the river or even a honey coloured stone cottage hotel away from the action. Holidaying with your pooch doesn’t mean you’re limited on where you can stay.
We even have some of the best-known hotels in the area like the luxury Fish Hotel, Lygon Arms, Bay Tree Hotel, Broadway Hotel and the De Vere Cotswold Water Park. Many even come with swimming pools, hot tubs, free WiFi and comfy king size beds while your beloved canine can enjoy their very own dog bed and dog bowls, a roaring fire to snooze by, and an enclosed garden to play in. So, for your next staycation, why not choose the Cotswolds and ensure that no-one has to be left out with our range of the best pet-friendly hotels?
