Best new dog-friendly property with a pool
Some Place, Sennen Cove, Cornwall
Sleeps 2 + 1 dog
Sennen is hands-down one of our favourite places to visit with your dog in Cornwall. What with incredible, uncrowded beaches, jaw-dropping coastal trails to Land’s End, wild moorland and dog-friendly inns where you can dine on world-class cuisine with your dog at your feet. Make your base this charming artist’s studio, and you can step out into the shared hot tub and swimming pool, or bask on the roof terrace, while Fido snuffles around the sub-tropical gardens.
Best new quirky dog-friendly property
Salem, Llwyngwril, Gwynedd
Sleeps 6 + 1 dog
If you’re looking for somewhere a bit different to stay with your dog in 2024, check out this converted chapel in Snowdonia National Park. Not only do you have the peaks on the doorstep for plenty of adventures on paw and foot, but back at your bohemian-styled abode complete with intricate chapel details, you have a non-tech entertainment space where you can learn an instrument, play poker and board games, or zen out with mediations. Salem is an unusual but delightful place to stay in Wales.
Best new dog-friendly mansion for special occasions
Sugnal Estate, Croxton, Staffordshire
Sleeps 28 + 3 dogs
This regal 18th-century manor house was made for grand celebrations in luxurious surroundings in the Staffordshire countryside. Set in a 1300-acre estate boasting historic walled gardens, woodland walks and wild pools, with activities such as fishing and shooting on site, there’s little reason to stray from your mansion for a house party extraordinaire. And why would you need to, with 14 regal bedrooms, chandeliers, a hot tub, an old billiard room seating 40 guests, and a majestic, oak-panelled lounge warmed with a log fire and adorned in taxidermies, with a baby grand piano waiting to entertain?
Best new dog-friendly historic holiday cottage
Arlington Mill, Bibury, Gloucestershire
Sleeps 12 + 2 dogs
Made for a slightly smaller house party, this historic mill dates back to the Doomsday Book. While the original wheels and machinery are still visible from its corn milling days, inside the property has incorporated plenty of modern luxuries into its original character. These include kingsize beds (one four-poster), a log burner, a freestanding bath and plenty of space inside and out for your four-legged friends. Once dubbed “the most beautiful village in England” by William Morris, Bibury epitomises rural England on the doorstep of the Cotswolds.
Best new dog-friendly Highland hideout
Cairngorms Retreat, Tomnavoulin, Moray, Scotland
Sleeps 8 + 1 dog
Hillwalkers, mountain bikers and whisky enthusiasts roll up – this designer home in the Scottish Highlands is the perfect pad for you and your four-legged friend. Set foot and paw on the castle trails of Aberdeenshire and the whisky trail across Speyside, or sit back on the stylish tweed sofas with panoramic views of the rolling hills. Located within the Cairngorms Dark Sky Park, it’s worth wrenching yourself away from the log burner beneath the copper light fittings, to spark up the firepit on the patio and stare up at the glittering stars by night.
Best new dog-friendly property with a hot tub
Benedict Barn, Outwell, Norfolk
Sleeps 6 + 2 dogs
This barn conversion on the site of an old Benedictine Priory shares an acre of private land in rural Norfolk. Wake up to countryside views, and after a day out with the dog exploring historic Kings Lynn, Downham Market and Hunstanton Beach, soak up the serene scenery through the bi-fold doors, or sink into the hot tub for a spot of stargazing. Dog sitting service also available.
Best new dog-friendly lakeside lodge
Lake View Lodge, Tallington, Lincolnshire
Sleeps 6 + 2 dogs
While it’s all very well to bag a retreat in the middle of nowhere, when you holiday with the kids and the dog, you can’t beat a holiday park for a wide range of facilities, activities and ready-made friends. So, if you’re looking for somewhere that has all of this, as well as a stunning lakeside location, private hot tub and lots of riverside walks, bag this lovely family lodge in the Tallington Lakes Leisure Park. There’s even a swimming pool, fishing lakes and watersports centre on site, making it perfect for active afternoons or simply taking it all in from the lakeside bar and restaurant.
Best new dog-friendly seaside cottage
Pele View Cottage, Cresswell, Northumberland

Make yourself at home in a cosy fisherman’s cottage on the shores of the seven-mile Druridge Bay in Northumberland. Made for couples or a small family with a dog, this cosy retreat is the perfect spot to watch the watery world go by from your seaside bench, strike out on wild coastal walks with your four-legged friends, or hunker beside the log burner after lungfuls of fresh sea air.
Best new dog-friendly romantic retreat
Mulberry Retreat, Appledore, Devon
Sleeps 2 + 2 dogs
This pet-friendly pad nestled in the coastal town of Appledore, offers a charming couple’s retreat from which to explore Devon with your dog.
