Dog-friendly cottages

Keep the tails wagging at one of our dog-friendly cottages

Here at Bolthole Retreats we are undeniably a company of dog lovers. You wouldn’t think of leaving them at home when you go on holiday, and we completely understand. We know that your dog is part of the family and when you travel their needs are just as important as yours, maybe even more so. When you’re looking for a dog-friendly cottage it doesn’t mean you should have to compromise on location, style or comfort. We hold our pet-friendly cottages to the same standards as those that don’t accept pets.

You will find rural retreats just for two and larger properties accepting up to 4 dogs so that nobody has to be left behind. We have over 100 properties where you can stay with your pet covering the Cotswolds, Forest of Dean and Herefordshire. We’re sure you’ll find the perfect choice from our collection of pet-friendly cottages. Each are unique and what they offer varies from cottage to cottage. Some go the extra mile with dog beds, dog bowls and tasty treats. All offer your beloved fur babies a very warm welcome, and many have large gardens so there is space to play. Enjoy long country walks from the door and when you return the dog can warm up in front of the woodburner.

In the Cotswolds there are miles and miles of glorious countryside waiting to be explored. A lot of our properties are near well-known walking routes, including the Cotswold Way. You will find dog-friendly pubs on the route so you can stop off for a drink or meal on the way. The Forest of Dean has a number of nature reserves with picnic spots you can explore. If you head into the Wye Valley you are rewarded with spectacular scenery on your walks.

Please remember to read our Dog Code of Conduct before booking.
