Pet Friendly Holidays in the Cotswold Lakes

Choosing the perfect holiday for you and your family is a really important decision and this is especially true if you want to bring your dog(s) with you. Here at Orion Holidays, we know that a dog is an important member of the family and so your holiday accommodation has to work for them as much as for you.

That’s why many of our stunning holiday cottages and lodges are pet friendly, providing you with the same level of luxury and contemporary finishes, but the peace of mind that your dog or pet is welcome. Please note, there is an additional charge for pets.

The Cotswold Lakes are larger than the Norfolk Broads, covering 42 square miles, with over 180 lakes and many miles of footpaths and wooded areas to explore. It offers a multitude of different walks to take your dog on and hours of fun for you and your family to discover all that the area has to offer.

Of course after a muddy walk, or perhaps to break up your long 18km expedition, you might want to find a copy Cotswold pub and have a drink or bite to eat. There are an abundance of dog friendly pubs and restaurants in the area to choose from and relax in after your walk.

Weekends breaks or longer holidays Pet friendly Accommodation Great location for the whole family
Dog friendly pubs & restaurants Flexible accommodation sleeping 2-10 Miles of walking and hiking trails

Excellent Holiday at Fountains View - 4.5*

The property was excellent, it had everything we needed and was in a beautiful location beside the lake. It was great having a secure decking area for our dog and plenty of grounds to walk around. We used the tennis courts several times and used our SUPs and kayak on Windrush lake which was an easy walk from the property with our kit. The property had everything we needed for cooking and all rooms were clean and comfortable. A great property overall.

Great House for a Family Holiday

Really great house for a family holiday. We were very happy here for our weekend with lots for people to do. The spa was great, lovely pool even though it was a bit busy. Lovely dog walks from the door and the hot tub was very popular with us.

Everything we need for our family of 4 plus dog - 5*

‘We loved our stay at Spring Lake! Fabulous, spotlessly clean villa with everything we needed for our family of 4, plus dog. Enjoyed a BBQ on the deck overlooking the water and had so many great walks with the dog. The staff at Orion Holidays were so helpful and the food at the onsite restaurant was excellent too. Highly recommend.’

It was a great holiday will be back ! - 5*

‘We stayed with three teenagers and a dog and it was perfect. They each had their space, we had a fully stocked kitchen to cook meals that were economical, and we were right near all the activities – kayaking, biking, and even bouldering. It was a great holiday and we will be back!’

Perfect for the whole family - 5*

This beautiful upside down house had everything our family could possibly need. Being a dog friendly property there was a stair gate, and even a ball and treats for the dog. The highlight for me had to be unwinding in the hot tub on the decking overlooking the beautiful lake.  The house is located within yards of the spa, restaurant and pizza hut plus children’s playground & tennis courts.

A big thank you - 5*

The biggest thank you especially after saying yes to re homing our 3rd spaniel last September was thank you to the owners for allowing 3 dogs!!!  I didn’t think we would ever be able to book again with 3 dogs so this was just wonderful and the little dog bags was a really lovely touch and much appreciated.  Thank you for all your help once again , wouldn’t book with anyone else!!

Perfect for outdoor people…lots of walking trails, cycling, watersports.  Property was clean, well equipped and comfy.  Love the fact dogs had to be kept on lead in the park and around the lakes!
Would definitely recommend this site.  Owners/receptionist are very polite and helpful!
