Who We Are
PlacesToVisitWithDogs.co.uk is a UK-wide directory designed to help dog owners discover dog friendly places to stay, eat, visit and explore. It provides a single source of clear information so visitors can quickly find locations that welcome dogs.

Our Mission
Our mission is to make travelling with dogs easier by providing reliable information about dog friendly businesses and destinations across the United Kingdom.
Why We Created PlacesToVisitWithDogs.co.uk
Dog owners often find it difficult to find clear and accurate information when planning trips or days out. Many places claim to be dog friendly without providing important details. This directory aims to remove that uncertainty by presenting information in a consistent, easy-to-read format.
How the Directory Works
Listings are organised using two main structures.
Business Type
- Accommodation
- Pubs and cafes

- Town or city
Visitors can browse by category, filter by location, or use available filters to narrow down options. Each listing highlights dog related information where available.
