Dog-friendly Weekends is the first all-encompassing, practical and
inspirational guidebook to dog-friendly holidays in Britain. Not only
does it cover dog-friendly accommodation and pubs, but most importantly,
each chapter offers a well-rounded weekend away, with recommendations on
attractions where the dog is allowed and great walks for all abilities.
Travel journalist and dog-travel expert Lottie Gross has spent several
years travelling thousands of miles around Britain with her canine
companions sifting out places which are truly dog-friendly from those
which are simply dog-tolerant. Drawing on her experiences, and on her
research as the Times Expert Traveller dog-friendly writer, she has come
up with a unique guidebook that pinpoints all the best places to go and
things to do when travelling around Britain with your dog. Going on
holiday without your dog is never the ideal solution, which is why this
book offers inspiration for 50 dog-friendly weekends away in Britain,
including museums where you can take the dog inside on a rainy day,
heritage railways where the dog rides free, and countless excellent
walks the whole family can enjoy. Island-hopping, city breaks, and coast
and countryside romps are all included, from Cornwall to the Scottish
Highlands. This is also a useful, practical guide that addresses the
questions all dog-owners have to consider when travelling with their
pets. Is there space by the table for my dog? Can the dog come down to
breakfast? Can the dog be left in the room? Each place included has been
vetted (no pun intended) by the author, whose first-hand experience is
supplemented with contributions from experts on safe and responsible
travel with your dog, ensuring every owner is well equipped to give the
whole family a memorable break away.
