While it’s a wonderful experience going on holiday with family and friends, there’s nothing like having your own space to retreat to at the end of a busy day … and having a little bit of peace, quiet and space to savour a large cup of coffee in the morning before you spend more time together. We’ve handpicked nine special dog friendly destinations with same site holiday cottages. You can be close to your loved ones but with a tiny bit of distance between you. We think you’ll love them.

And when the day winds down, each cottage offers its own cosy retreat, giving everyone a little space to relax and recharge before gathering again for the next adventure. It’s the best of both worlds – shared memories by day, peaceful hideaways by night.
