Thankfully, Britain has some incredible hotels for animal parents. From provided pet beds to dining experiences designed around your dog, these stays will make your travel time with your four-legged companion even more special.

The Headland Hotel & Spa, Cornwall
Fancy some fun on your beach with your pet? Then you’ll want to head on down to The Headland Hotel & Spa in Cornwall.
The hotel sits overlooking Fistral Bay, with 750ft of soft, sandy beach on your doorstep. You can spend hours exploring the secret coves and caves of the famed Cornish coast, giving your dog plenty of new sights, smells and experiences to explore. If you’re up for it, surfing is also a popular activity all year round, with boards and equipment available for hire (though your dog may find this more difficult).
For some personal time, you can relax in the Headland Spa, offering a selection of treatments and massages, along with a pool and gym. You can also choose between staying in the main house, a towering Victorian mansion, or one of the more secluded private cottages.
And since the Headland prides itself on being a pet-friendly establishment, dogs are welcome anywhere in the hotel except the restaurant.
