Dreaming of a getaway where no one — especially not your dog — gets left behind? The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley are legendary for scenic trails, riverside rambles, and a genuinely welcoming vibe for furry companions. And the perfect home base for your next group escape is right here with Big House Holiday Lets (BHHL).
BHHL’s portfolio of large, dog-friendly holiday homes includes character-filled cottages and large houses that sleep big groups without compromising on comfort. Whether you’re heading out with friends, family or multiple generations, you’ll find spacious kitchens, games rooms, hot tubs and gardens that welcome dogs with open arms (and often plenty of space to burn energy).
But let’s be honest — a great holiday isn’t just a gorgeous house. It’s the adventures you have outside it. The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley deliver that by the bucketload. Miles of woodland trails, riverside paths and peaceful walking routes mean your pup can explore ancient oak forests, lush valleys and beaches of grass beside the Wye. Dogs who love a sniff and a splash will be in total heaven here
After days outside, there’s heaps of friendly, dog-accommodating pubs and cafés where you can unwind with a proper meal and a cold drink. Local spots often have water bowls ready, brews for humans, and plenty of space for your hound to relax before you head back to the cottage for evening downtime
Top tips for a happy dog-friendly break? Pack weather-proof layers, your pup’s favourite bed and toys, and double-check each property’s pet policies before booking. Most BHHL homes are wonderfully dog-inclusive — but planning ahead means the whole gang can relax as soon as you walk through the door.
From riverside strolls to woodland escapes and cosy evenings by the fire, luxury dog-friendly stays in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley are waiting — and they’re perfect for everyone in the pack.
