If Christmas is a family occasion then it really can’t be spent without our four legged friends in tow. While you strictly shouldn’t be planning to share the turkey with your pooch, we promise not to tell if you don’t. Across the UK, hoteliers are as fond of welcoming your dog as you are, which is why they absolutely include them in the seasonal festivities. Amongst the UK’s dog friendly hotels for Christmas, you will find vast estates that are made for long walks to work up or work off that Christmas lunch, as well as pubs with rooms where everyone can snuggle by the fire in the evening. Not wanting pets to miss out on being pampered, many of the hotels really go the extra mile when welcoming your dog as well, complete with beds, water bowls, treats, blankets and sometimes even a private terrace or garden attached to your room as well. Also see our suggestions for the best dog-friendly hotels at New Year.
