Do you take your dog on holiday?

If so - where do you go? With pictures and reviews if possible!

Yes and no, we go abroad without them and we bought a dog friendly timeshare in Scotland so we would be able to take them with us.

We have taken the dogs to Scotland with us (last year) and we are going to the same place again this year.

We are staying in a dog friendly cottage in Perthshire, near Loch Tay. The cottages are on a 100-acre estate with no livestock, so as long as they are away from the cottages, they can be off lead anywhere.

The area is lovely, and there is lots to do with and without the dogs. We put ours in kennels for one day of the week and then do 'tourist' things for the day (horse riding, clay shooting, deer stalking etc).

Recall on the estate


The estate we stayed on is called Craggantoul, and is lovely, however, other Dogsey members have stayed elsewhere in the area and found lots of dog friendly rentals.

Yes we go to Pembrokshire usually where we rent a holiday cottage

Will be our first holiday with Monty though so could also be our last!! Am really looking forward to it, only 15 days to go!!

Only Norfolk a couple of years ago. I prefer my exotic holidays minus the woof!

Yes and no again, if the holiday we are planning is dog friendly we take the dogs, but I need my beach holiday some years at least so those years they will stay with relatives.

We went to the Cairngorms with Cox and it was great. We will be going to Alsace in France with Cox and Belle this summer. Can't wait!

I'd love to take the boys on every holiday, but I do realise this can be impossible, as I doubt they would approve of the Casino's in LV and besides they are underage

I try to take them to The New Forest, once a year, and have visited the site for many years. Its safe and a stunning area to visit with dogs and comes highly recommended.

First holiday the boys had was at Glenclova log cabins, they had a double on suite to themselves, with mountain view...the restraunt was great, and the dogs are allowed in, the cabin had a sauna room and a hot tub outside, it was great, only downside was the cabin wasn't fenced off so the boys didn't get freedom there we had to go to kirriemuir woods for most of our walks, there was red squirells there...heres the boys in they're room

then we went for a long weekend to Braehead bed n breakfast, we met kira at lunan bay there, great home made food, everything catered to for the dogs, and the dogs are allowed in the dining room, very pet friendly, we had 3 with us so they'd have to be lol...this is the beach

kira looking just beautiful

down side to the b/b was no walking round a bout so had to drive..
We went to Kyle of Lochalsh last October to a beautiful cottage with fenced in garden brilliant for the dogs, fishing on the door step and the isle of skye 10 mins drive away...

What's a holiday?????

Seriously though, we had our first holiday in 16 years last summer - a wonderful week in Cornwall in an isolated cottage - just the two of us (it was actually our much-delayed honeymoon). A close friend who has huskies stayed at our place to look after our dogs.

On day one we made friends with our landlord's border collie (who was inseparable from us for the rest of the week), but by day two we were really missing our dogs (much more than the human kids). Even though we had a wonderful time, we couldn't wait to get home to the dogs.
