Believing that holidays and days out should include ALL members of the family (big, small and furry), Dog Friendly Destinations’ mission is to seek out and share the UK’s best places to stay, places to eat and places to go where dogs are not just permitted but thoroughly welcomed. We’re here to help you find your ultimate dog friendly destination.
The best dog friendly UK breaks in 2026
Dog friendly destinations chosen by the DFD pack
To get ahead of the curve, we caught up with our roving reporters to uncover the best dog friendly destinations for 2026. These are the spots that made the DFD pack’s list for unforgettable walkies, cosy stays and tail-wagging adventures.
Every spot on this list earned its place because it offers something special for both humans and dogs. These are the destinations that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked the muddy boots and emptied the treat bag.
