Set into the cliffs above Babbacombe Bay, The Cary Arms blends boutique hotel polish with the warmth of a coastal inn. Dogs are welcomed with beds, treats and towels, and many of the rooms and beach huts are dog-friendly. The Southwest Coast Path runs past the door, and the beach below is perfect for early paddles. There’s also a small spa with a hydrotherapy pool, plus seafood suppers served with sea views.

Just a sand dune away from one of England’s best beaches, The Gallivant is laid-back, stylish and deeply dog-friendly. The food is Californian-coastal with a British twist, think local fish, greens and sourdough. Dogs are welcome in most rooms and public areas, and daily yoga sessions, spa treatments, and even doggie ice cream are available. Ideal for design-conscious Londoners escaping the city with sandy paws in mind.

An old-school luxury hotel on a quiet stretch of the Cornish coast, The Nare welcomes dogs with blankets, bowls and warm service. There are expansive lawns leading down to the beach, and the hotel even offers its own motor launch for coastal trips. Dining is refined, and there’s a spa, indoor and outdoor pools and afternoon tea with a sea view.

Once a smugglers’ inn, now a charming dog-friendly pub with rooms a short stroll from the beach. Dogs are made welcome in rooms, the bar and the garden, and there’s a dog-friendly beach all year round. Think fish and chips by the fire, coastal walks and sunset pints under big Suffolk skies.

Seaham Hall’s coastal estate is the ideal spot for a getaway with your four-legged friend. The spacious Garden Suites give you room to stretch out and each comes with its own private outdoor area – perfect for fresh air, playtime and those post-beach snoozes. With the sea just a short stroll away, you and your pup can enjoy windswept walks before returning to comfort and style.
