Dog friendly Holidays in the Cotswolds
A Dog Walking Haven in the Cotswold Water Park
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 Water Park is 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 Water Park 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.
