At Boutique and Breakfast we understand that man’s best friend deserves a holiday too sometimes and why not. After all, they spend many a day gazing up at their human owners when wanting a walk or food, followed by periods of restful sleep snuggled up in their basket. It’s hard work being a dog and they quite rightly deserve a break! So forget the stress of kennels and the guilt of leaving your beloved pooch behind whilst you are off enjoying yourself. We have picked just some of our favourite dog friendly boutique B&B’s where man’s best friend can enjoy some well deserved down-time (and maybe a spot of rabbit chasing!).
