Dog-friendly cottages in the Cotswolds
Dog-friendly cottages and inns in the Cotswolds, from Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton and Burford to Broadway, Chipping Campden, Bibury, Painswick and Tetbury, with what to check before you book.
The Cotswolds suits a dog-friendly break: honey-stone villages close together, footpaths across the wolds between them, and pubs that expect walkers with dogs.
This guide gathers dog-friendly places to stay by area. Some are individual cottages with clear dog rules, some are inns and hotels with rooms set aside for dogs, and some are letting agencies with a choice in that town. House rules vary a lot here, from dogs downstairs only to dogs off the furniture, so read each listing before you book.
What to check before you book
- How many dogs? Many places take one or two; agencies set rules per cottage, so check each listing.
- Is there a pet fee? Charges are usually per dog, per night or per stay.
- Which rooms? Hotels and inns often keep dogs to set bedrooms and out of the main restaurant.
- Is the garden fully enclosed? "Garden" doesn't always mean dog-proof; ask if your dog is an escape artist.
- Are there house rules? Several Cotswold cottages keep dogs downstairs, on hard floors or off the furniture.
