ROUND-UPS

Our Favourite Dog-Friendly Cottages with Enclosed Gardens

3rd February 2026

Dog-friendly cottages are great - but dog-friendly cottages with enclosed gardens are even better.

Pet-friendly holiday cottages with secure gardens mean fun for your dog and peace of mind for you.

From lawns with sturdy fences, to sunny walled courtyards, these enclosed cottage gardens let you open the back door without worrying your dog is getting up to (too much) mischief.

We’ve chosen some of our favourite dog-friendly holiday cottages with enclosed gardens across England, Scotland and Wales, where pets are welcome and outdoor spaces are safe and secure.

[Please double-check with the property owner that outdoor spaces will meet your needs - particularly if your dog is a professional escape artist!]
