Dog Friendly Holiday Cottages in The Cotswolds
A perfect holiday is one that all the family enjoy together - and that includes our four-legged friends. And there's no need to leave your dog at home.
Why Dogs Love the Cotswolds
You'll find plenty of places to stretch their legs nearby: rolling parkland and open countryside. At Cotswolds Hideaways, there's little that gives us more pleasure than seeing your dogs having just as much fun as the rest of you. Because nothing tops exploring the country with man's best friend (everyone's best friend!) by your side.
