Hair of the dog…
Brits Love a Pet-Friendly Holiday!
We Brits are a nation of dog lovers, with one in three households owning a dog, so it comes as no surprise that when we go on holiday, we want to be able to bring our precious pooches with us.
This is where staycations come into their own and it couldn’t be easier to bring your prized pup on holiday with you in the UK, especially if you opt for a caravan break.
Most caravan parks are dog-friendly, with some going out of their way to make your cherished canine feel especially welcome with dog-agility parks, designated dog-walking areas, and dedicated doggy-dining place.
It’s worth checking before you book if your chosen site is a real haven for hounds.
Nestling on the stunning North Wales coast in Conwy, Towyn is incredibly dog-friendly with more dog-friendly attractions, pubs, restaurants, and beaches than your dog can wag its tail at, so if you’re on a caravan break in Towyn with your darling dog, you’re in for a (doggy!) treat.
