Looking for a dog-friendly staycation you know your pup will love? Travel experts Pets Pyjamas have just launched their very first dog road trip holiday in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside.
The six-night 'Canine Cotswolds Experience' invites dogs and their owners on a road trip through honey-coloured villages, stately homes and pet-friendly pubs. They will also enjoy plenty of lesser-known walking routes through lots of grassy areas and open spaces.
The holiday comes after new research, conducted by Pets Pyjamas, found that 87% of their customers were looking for a staycation in the UK where their dogs were also welcome.
Guests will spend two nights in three different locations and experience some of the Cotswolds' most picturesque sights. The privately-owned collection of hotels will all provide breakfast treats for your dog, as well as a place to completely unwind and switch off.
"Holidays are often about experiencing something new, so inspired by one of our dog-friendly travel trends of 2019, we’re thrilled to offer our first ever road trip experience to the much-loved destination of the Cotswolds," Denise Elphick, Co-Founder of Pets Pyjamas explains.
"Striving to give our two and four-legged customers the best dog-friendly experience possible, we hope this is the first of many multi-stop trips we are able to offer to customer’s wishing to staycation with their pets," continues Denise.
Also in the package, you'll find complimentary tickets to some of the area's attractions, including the 56 acres of land at Batsford Arboretum, the Cotswold Wildlife Park and the chance to stop by for a visit at Stroud Brewery tap room to taste their local organic beers.
The mini-break offers something for every dog personality, breed and budget. Book now to avoid disappointment.
PetsPyjamas ‘Canine Cotswold Experience’ is priced from £550 per person with trips from September 2019 to May 2020.
