Waggle with Marley: a UK guide for dog-friendly travel and adventures

Dog-friendly travel made easy

As dog owners who enjoy discovering new places, we quickly realized that planning a trip with a dog involves more than just packing our bags and setting off. Firstly, not every hotel accommodates dogs, and even those that do often have restrictions, making it feel like dogs are simply tolerated rather than genuinely welcomed. Secondly... what the fluff do you pack for a dog? Will I need feeding bowls? Should I bring a bed? And what about shampoo and towels?

In this space, we aim to share our experiences with dog-friendly travel and provide insights into dog-friendly accommodations throughout the UK.

Our goal is to create a comprehensive resource that not only highlights where you can stay with your dog but also assesses the quality of those experiences. We believe every dog-parent deserves to find places that truly embrace their furry friends, so we'll provide detailed accounts of our stays, including amenities, overall atmosphere, and how well the hotel staff interacted with Marley.

Building a Community of Dog-Lovers

When we brought Marley home, we quickly discovered that, despite reading countless articles and gathering all the puppy essentials, we knew nothing about raising a puppy. Believe me when I say that having a supportive community of dog-owners and friendly folks to chat with, saved us from the puppy blues. This taught me the importance of sharing experiences and exchanging advice. We hope this space becomes a warm and welcoming space for fellow dog enthusiasts to connect, share their stories, and support one another in the joys and frustrations of travelling with your furry best friend.

Each place we recommend is carefully vetted to ensure it welcomes dogs and provides a comfortable experience for both pets and their owners.
