Dog-Friendly Glamping Pods

    Man’s – and woman’s – best friend…

    It’s official – the UK is a nation of dog lovers – with more and more of us choosing to get a dog. In fact, according to statistics, between 2019 and 2022, the number of households in the UK with dogs jumped from around 23% to more than 34%.

    Let’s Explore Dog-Friendly Glamping Pods…

    So, it’s no wonder that more of us are looking for holidays that we can take our precious pooches on and what could be more perfect than a dog-friendly glamping holiday with your darling doggy by your side?

    Going glamping with your dog…

    Whilst taking a holiday on your own might seem a bit daunting, why not think about taking a break with your dog?

    You get the best of both worlds – the company and security of having a companion but without having to speak to them or do what they want to do all the time!

    What could be more rewarding than a trip away with your beloved dog in tow?

    A holiday with your dog will by its very nature have to involve lots of fresh air and outdoor activity (everyone’s a winner!) so a trip to a dog-friendly glamping pod is an excellent idea.

    We don’t all like roughing it with camping, so the next best thing is undoubtedly glamping, which combines all the benefits of camping with none of the downsides.

    From yurts to shepherd’s huts and treehouses to woodland cabins, the possibilities for dog-friendly glamping are endless and the prospect of staying somewhere completely unique makes every glamping experience different and unforgettable.

    What can you Expect from a Glamping Pod?

    Glamping holidays are growing in popularity every year and there are more glamping sites available in the UK than ever before.

    The beauty of a dog-friendly glamping pod is that it will undoubtedly be located in beautiful surroundings, so you can enjoy being at one with nature while immersing yourself in a space that offers plenty of home comforts.

    Forget shivering in a cold, damp tent and instead picture yourself in a warm and welcoming glamping pod where you can cook, get washed, sleep and chill out in a pleasant and comfortable environment which you have all to yourself.
