Find dog-friendly Britain.

I'm Lee — I write Holihounds from the Isle of Wight, where I live with my dog Levi and walk and sit dogs for other people. That second part is most of the reason this site reads the way it does. When you have someone else's dog for the week, you find out fast which details about a place actually matter, and which ones were only ever marketing.

Most dog-friendly travel guides on the UK internet aren't really. They list properties marked "pet friendly" on the booking platforms, rephrase the marketing copy, and call it research. The supplements, the garden status, the small print that determines whether a property actually works with a dog — most of it is missing.

This site reverses that. Every cottage, lodge or pub I write up has been verified against its actual listing — max dogs, pet charge, garden enclosure, where dogs are allowed, what's provided. Where the source is vague, the entry says so rather than inventing plausible specifics. Where a holiday park markets a unit-class booking as a "lodge", the entry says so. Where a "fully enclosed" garden has a side gap, the entry tells you to mind it.

Cornwall, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales are the fullest regions so far — verified cottages, beaches and pubs in each — with Northumberland and Scotland building out behind them. The other regions and verticals follow as their guides ship.
