Decided to pack your bags and head off for a spontaneous weekend away? Great idea. But leaving the dog behind just doesn't feel right. That's exactly why we have pulled together a brilliant selection of last minute dog friendly cottages in the UK. Whether you want a cosy house by the sea or a rambling country home with a big garden, you'll find properties ready and waiting for you this weekend.
Why book a spontaneous getaway with your dog
Sometimes the best trips are the ones you don't plan months in advance. A sudden stretch of sunny weather or a particularly long week at work is the perfect excuse to bundle the dog into the car and go. Booking late means you can often snap up some fantastic deals on larger homes or charming cottages that have just had a cancellation, letting you save money while filling an unexpected free weekend. Plus, getting away from it all is the best way to switch off, enjoy a digital detox and spend proper quality time with your family, your partner and your pet.
Homes ready for muddy paws and happy tails
Finding a place that genuinely welcomes dogs at short notice is easy when you search our live availability. We focus entirely on cottages, houses and spacious homes that make taking your pet a breeze. Look out for properties featuring enclosed gardens so you don't have to worry about morning toilet breaks, or homes with handy outdoor taps to wash off muddy paws after a long walk. From romantic little cottages for two to massive family houses with enough room for multi-generational get-togethers, we've got your short-notice plans completely sorted.
Top spots for a quick dog friendly break
The UK is absolutely packed with brilliant places to explore with your pet. If you're after dramatic coastlines and sandy beaches, a late dash to Cornwall, Devon or Pembrokeshire always hits the spot. Prefer rolling hills and endless walking trails? You can't go wrong with a quick trip to the Lake District, the Peak District, Yorkshire or the Cotswolds. For those wanting total peace and quiet, finding a secluded house in the Scottish Highlands or a coastal cottage in Norfolk is a fantastic way to recharge in nature.
