Let’s all cross our fingers but it’s looking likely that from 17th May you can travel again! Are you thinking about booking yourself and your pooch a staycation? The recent rise in dog-friendly holidays in the UK, and these remaining a favourite for Brits this Summer, is definitely a positive to come out of this past year.
We’ll be sharing with you some of the best dog-friendly holiday destinations for you to explore…
- The Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa, Yorkshire
Based in Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire, The Devonshire Arms sits in 33,000 acres of Yorkshire Dales countryside and is a popular holiday destination. The stone brick main house built in 1610, sits on the Bolton Abbey Estate which belongs to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. You won’t be short of dog walking spots due to its fantastic location, placed by the River Wharfe in Wharfedale. This is also only six miles away from the market town of Skipton – the best of both worlds!
