New Dog-Friendly Cottages

Here in the UK we are a nation who love pets! Pets are an important part of the family – it’s estimated that up to 62% of households in the UK own a pet*. It’s no surprise that dogs are one of the most popular of our household pets, so when you book a holiday it’s only natural to want your beloved pooch to be included in the holiday fun too.

At Durrants Holiday Cottages we understand how important your dogs are. We truly are a doggy-friendly company, with most of our staff owning a dog themselves! As such, we have a lovely collection of holiday cottages that are dog-friendly, making the decision to holiday in the UK even easier – and if you happen to be stopping by our office in Southwold, your four-legged friend is sure to be spoiled with treats and affection by our lovely Paula.  

Available now, we have added some fantastic new additions to our dog-friendly portfolio – keep reading to find the perfect dog-friendly holiday cottage for you.
