Bring the whole family, including your dog. Stay in professionally managed cottages where pets are truly welcome, not just tolerated.

Most of our pet-friendly properties are located in natural settings with direct access to trails, shorelines, or open land. Specific outdoor access details are included in each listing so you can match the property to your dog’s needs.
Any damage caused by pets is covered under the same damage process as all other bookings. We handle it fairly and transparently for both guests and owners. Our team will walk you through the process if anything comes up.
Some properties accommodate cats and other small pets in addition to dogs. The listing will specify which animals are welcome. If you are unsure, contact our team directly before booking and we will confirm with the owner.
Pet amenities are not standard across all properties. We recommend bringing your own supplies to keep your pet comfortable. If a cottage does offer pet-specific extras, that will be noted in the listing details.
Stop searching listings that only allow pets in theory. Choose a cottage designed for everyone in your family to relax and enjoy.
