A recent survey by holidaycottages.co.uk asking staycationers when they’re happiest, discovered that nearly one in five responses included mention of a dog. The company asked UK dog owners about their happiest holiday memories and favourite destinations to visit with their dogs. The team at holidaycottages.co.uk have revealed the UK’s happiest dog-friendly staycation breaks. When it comes to the UK destinations that will keep our pups entertained, the North West Highlands took the crown, followed by Cumbria and Northumberland in second and third places respectively. Home to the Lake District National Park, Cumbria is a haven for man’s best friend thanks to its range of walking trails.
