Are you already thinking about your dog-friendly holiday for 2026? Well, don\u2019t just think about it \u2013 take action. There are so many advantages to being organised and booking your holiday early. From having more choice so you can secure the paw-fect pad in your dream destination, to getting the best deals and saving up for fun days out with your four-legged friends. Here are just some of the reasons to book your holiday in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Choice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Luxury-dog-friendly-cottage-to-rent\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The best accommodation, in the most sought-after destinations, are always snapped up first. So if you want to book the perfect accommodation in your dream destination, especially during the busy summer season<\/a>, you need to book as far in advance as you can. If you\u2019re seeking specific dates to suit your schedule, or have a particular destination in mind, it\u2019s vital to book ahead if you don\u2019t want to be pipped to the post to bag that paw-fact pad you\u2019re looking for\u2026 whether that\u2019s a waterside cabin in the Lake District<\/a>, a beachfront cottage in Cornwall<\/a> or a half-term hideaway in the Malvern Hills<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better Deals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Happy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The further ahead you book your holiday cottage, the more likely you are to get a better deal. And once you\u2019ve booked your dog-friendly accommodation, you\u2019ll avoid any additional price increases that could be implemented by the owner for the forthcoming season. If you don\u2019t think you\u2019ve got enough to pay for your holiday now, book on a 0% credit card and make a monthly budget to pay it off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Savings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"sailing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The further ahead you book your holiday, the more time you’ll have to save for those special days out, dinners and memorable experiences while you\u2019re away. Set up a separate account to stash some cash, and rest assured you can say \u2018yes\u2019 to a day out on a dog-friendly boat trip<\/a>, lunch at a paw-fect gastro pub overlooking the sea, or a family day out with Rover onboard a scenic railway through the countryside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Dog-Friendly Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take heed of the advice so far and not only will you have money saved to enjoy dog-friendly day trips, but you\u2019ll also have plenty of time to research the best dog-friendly things to do, places to go and paw-friendly pubs and restaurants. You\u2019ll find you can often make even more savings by pre-booking some of the paw-friendly attractions<\/a>, such as the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. Plus, booking ahead ensures you don\u2019t miss out on entry for popular dog-friendly places at peak season \u2013 such as Bamburgh Castle<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Kitted Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Summer<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Planning to bag some peaks in the Cairngorms<\/a> but haven\u2019t got your hiking boots yet? Or perhaps you want to try paddleboarding in Cornwall<\/a> with the dog and don\u2019t have a wetsuit. If you know what activities you have lined up and where you\u2019re heading in advance, you can ensure that you \u2013 and your dog \u2013\u00a0have the right kit and caboodle for your holiday. Whether that means being decked out in waterproofs or undergoing a little more dog training before you hit the busy beaches, there\u2019s time to ensure you\u2019re all prepped for the paw-fect adventure<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Organised<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"diary<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Annual leave, house sitters, friends to feed the cat\u2026 Going on holiday leaves a mountain of daily admin to be designated \u2013 and the earlier you get the holiday form in and the neighbour lined up to water the garden, the less stressed your departure will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less Stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Staycation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you choose a staycation and book ahead, going on your holiday is less stressful than travelling abroad. No airport delays, no weight restrictions at check-in, no leaving the dog at home and no off-richter heatwave to deal with while you\u2019re away. The closer to home you travel, the more sustainable your holiday is. All you have to do is load up your wheels and travel a few hours to your holiday destination. No stress, no time pressures, and more time to relax when you get there. Whether it’s Cumbria<\/a>, the Scottish Highlands<\/a> or Pembrokeshire<\/a>, the UK has some fantastic locations for a dog friendly getaway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Relax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"relaxed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve booked your 2024 holiday you can breathe a deep sigh of relief and relax. That\u2019s one huge tick off your list and the pressure is off. There\u2019s no need to worry about waiting for last-minute deals or have the fear of missing out on the perfect holiday. Now you can start the countdown and enjoy all the excitement and anticipation of what you\u2019ve got to look forward to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
