Dogs play an essential role in peoples lives and are more than often considered part of the family!
The bond between humans and dogs is a special one that has lived for hundreds of years built on trust and loyalty.
Many would consider their dog to be there best friend as they are with you through thick and thin and offer that companionship that not everyone has.
My name is John and I’d like to say thank you for checking out our site!
As you can see, my golden retriever Henry is not shy of a photo and his cheeky personality is what we as a family love about him.
A huge lover of outdoor life and slow-paced days! Loves nothing better than a cosy cottage, roaring fire, a dog asleep and a cold beer.

Liane is a part time writer with a love of the great outdoors and red wine accompanied by her beloved golden retrievers. Her perfect day would be spent on a woodland dog walk, with a flask of coffee and a true crime podcast. Liane has a BA honours in counselling and psychotherapy but dreams of a full time career working with dogs.
My name is Donna, I am 55 years old and live in Newcastle upon Tyne with my partner, Isla a very demanding French bulldog , a guinea pig called Philip and around 30 tropical fish all named after Ru Paul’s drag queens.
Having grown up with dogs my whole life, there’s nothing better than walking in from work to see the excitement and joy on their faces!
My wife and I are fanatical dog lovers who have both had pets since our childhood’s. As a combined total, we have had 9 dogs between us and have now had Henry for the last 3 years. He is extremely mischievous but also loyal, great with kids, and a brilliant best friend!
We have always tried to incorporate our dogs on our holidays with us but have often been left frustrated over the years by the lack of properties or breaks that include fancy extras like a hot tub and allow you to bring your dogs.
Which is why I started this blog, my two passions in life, dogs and holidaying! And my wife’s love of hot tubs. Why not combine them and try to help other families who also struggle to find dog friendly places.
Whenever I tried searching for a holiday within the UK, it would take me hours to try and filter through hundreds of properties before I found all the cottages allowed but also still incorporated the luxury features we all love when on holiday.
Wouldn’t it be brilliant if there was one site that had all!
