A "pawsome" escape: how to make your pup’s holiday as special as yours

At Brook Cottage Shepherd Huts, we know that your dog is part of the family—and their holiday should be just as enjoyable as yours! With glorious countryside, scenic walking trails, and a peaceful escape from the everyday hustle, Brook Cottage Shepherds Huts offer you the perfect place for both of you to unwind. To ensure your pup has the best possible stay, here’s how to make their experience as comfortable and joyful as yours.

Make them feel at home

The excitement of a new place can be a lot for a dog. Help them settle in by creating a cosy space with their favourite bed, blanket, or even a well-loved toy. Familiar scents reassure them, and after a day of running through open fields, they’ll love having their own little retreat to curl up in.

Keep them comfy and clean

There’s nothing quite like watching your dog bound through the countryside, but sometimes adventure comes with a bit of mud! A quick wipe of their paws before heading inside keeps things fresh, and if they’ve had a swim or got caught in the rain, drying them off ensures they stay warm and comfortable for their next outing.

Explore together

There’s no shortage of dog-friendly paths to explore nearby, whether you prefer mountain hikes, coastal walks, or wide-open countryside. Make a day of it - pack a picnic, bring plenty of water and treats for your pup, and take time to enjoy the simple pleasure of wandering in nature side by side.

Enjoy the peace

Even the most energetic dogs appreciate a little downtime. In the quiet moments, you can settle onto your porch with a good book and a cup of tea (or glass of wine!) while they stretch out beside you, breathing in the fresh air and taking in the tranquil surroundings. Sometimes, doing nothing together is just as special as the grand adventures.

Safety first

Brook Cottage is surrounded by stunning landscapes, but with wildlife and livestock in the area, keep an eye on your pup and follow local guidelines on leads where needed. This makes exploring stress-free for everyone—and lets you both fully enjoy the beauty of the countryside.

With a little preparation, your dog’s stay at Brook Cottage Shepherd Huts can be just as magical as yours.

We can’t wait to welcome you and your four-legged friend! Book your escape today and start making unforgettable memories!
