Dog friendly Holidays in the Cotswolds
A Dog Walking Haven at 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.

A Big Thank You!
5*
The biggest thank you especially after saying yes to re homing our 3rd spaniel last September was thank you to the owners for allowing 3 dogs!!! I didn’t think we would ever be able to book again with 3 dogs so this was just wonderful and the little dog bags was a really lovely touch and much appreciated. Thank you for all your help once again , wouldn’t book with anyone else!!

Perfect for the whole family

This beautiful upside down house had everything our family could possibly need. Being a dog friendly property there was a stair gate, and even a ball and treats for the dog. The highlight for me had to be unwinding in the hot tub on the decking overlooking the beautiful lake. The house is located within yards of the spa, restaurant and pizza hut plus children’s playground & tennis courts.

‘We stayed with three teenagers and a dog and it was perfect. They each had their space, we had a fully stocked kitchen to cook meals that were economical, and we were right near all the activities – kayaking, biking, and even bouldering. It was a great holiday and we will be back!’

‘We loved our stay at Spring Lake! Fabulous, spotlessly clean villa with everything we needed for our family of 4, plus dog. Enjoyed a BBQ on the deck overlooking the water and had so many great walks with the dog. The staff at Orion Holidays were so helpful and the food at the onsite restaurant was excellent too. Highly recommend.’
