Dog Friendly Weekends Book

An all-encompassing, practical and inspirational guidebook to dog-friendly holidays in Britain.

Dog-Friendly Weekends doesn’t just list accommodation and pubs where your dog will be welcome, but most importantly, each chapter offers a well-rounded weekend away, with recommendations on attractions where your dog is allowed, and great walks for all abilities.

Travel journalist and dog-travel expert Lottie Gross has spent several years travelling thousands of miles around Britain with her canine companions sifting out places which are truly dog-friendly from those which are simply dog-tolerant. Drawing on her experiences, and on her research as the Times Expert Traveller dog-friendly writer, she has come up with a unique full-colour guide that pinpoints all the best places to go and things to do when travelling around Britain with your dog.

Going on holiday without your dog is never the ideal solution, which is why this book offers inspiration for 50 dog-friendly weekends away in Britain, including museums where you can take the dog inside on a rainy day, heritage railways where the dog rides free, and countless excellent walks the whole family can enjoy. Island-hopping, city breaks, and coast and countryside romps are all included, from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands.

This is also a useful, practical guide that addresses the questions all dog-owners have to consider when travelling with their pets. Is there space by the table for my dog? Can the dog come down to breakfast? Can the dog be left in the room? Each place included has been vetted (no pun intended) by the author, whose first-hand experience is supplemented with contributions from experts on safe and responsible travel with your dog, ensuring every owner is well equipped to give the whole family a memorable break away.
