Dog-friendly cottages are quickly getting snapped up for summer 2021. In recent weeks, we’ve had a solid stream of bookings for holidays next year. Some popular dog-friendly destinations are already 50% booked for some weeks next August.
If you’re thinking about getting away for holiday with your dog next summer, we advise you to book now while there is still a reasonable stock of self-catering properties to choose from.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned this summer, it’s that dog-friendly holiday homes sell extremely quickly. This summer’s post-lockdown boom in UK holidays resulted in huge demand for pet-friendly properties all over the country.
During the busiest weeks this summer we completely sold out of dog friendly retreats. All 25,200 properties were booked. This has never happened before. We had a lot of enquiries from people who were disappointed that they could not find holidays homes for a getaway with their families and four-legged friends.

If you want to get a self-catering property in the UK for a holiday next summer, start searching now. It’s never too early to book. Good looking holiday homes in popular locations go quickly, so snap up your dog-friendly retreat while you still can.
