  • It is great that there are so many dog friendly holidays available, We have two dogs and always feel guilty when they go to the kennels, it is nice to know hat we could look for other options.

  • If the dogs are at Endsleigh that’s where I’d want to go. Those are a couple of beauties. It’s nice to know where you can bring your pets when you travel.

  • Hotels that allow our pets are so appreciated. Here in the US, they can be hard to come by. The destinations you shared look truly amazing! It’s wonderful that they welcome dogs too.

    Loved all the photos.

  • I’ve never travelled with my dog when I lived in the US because finding pet-friendly hotels was pretty much impossible. It’s great to know there are so many dog friendly hotels in Devon & the photos are so cute!
