5 Reasons Why Dog Friendly Pubs Make Pawsome Holiday Breaks

More often than not, pubs are simply not on people’s holiday radar, whether you have a dog or not.

As a dog owner you usually think about eating and drinking in a pub that will allow your four-legged friend – however you don’t tend to think of a pub offering dog friendly rooms to stay!

With that in mind, here’s five reasons why dog friendly pubs make for an excellent holiday break for you and your beloved pet:

1) When you walk into a pub, you’ll instantly feel welcome. Many dog-friendly pubs will have dog treats at the ready so your pet is made to feel right at home straight away. This offers peace of mind to both you and your dog and is a breath of fresh air to enjoy your stress-free break.

2) Unlike a self-catering holiday, you can expect friendly service at a pub where so much is already done for you. You don’t have worry about shopping or work out how things work in the property, whilst most pubs provide dog-friendly beds and bowls in your room.

3) Both dog and owner can truly enjoy the stay. For you, there’s usually great food and drink onsite. For your dog, the countryside location of most pubs means that they have endless, beautiful surroundings to enjoy walks and you get to take in the scenery too.

4) If you’re a sociable person, you know you will meet fellow dog owners either at the pub or on walks. Having a dog, people come up and talk to you and the sociable, relaxed nature of a pub creates the opportunity to meet so many new people during your stay!

5) With dog friendly pubs, you are a step ahead of the many others who are rushing to book pet friendly holiday lets. You are thinking outside the box; pubs are chic, welcoming and dotted all across the UK.
