Dog Friendly Request
We are trying to obtain planning permission to build two houses specifically for pets and their owners, we recognise that almost 25% of the population of Northern Ireland and indeed the UK own pets, and with the advent of pet passports more European visitors will be looking for accommodation that are willing to accept pets.
One of the arguments that the planners will listen to is that there is a ‘defined’ need for the type of tourist accommodation, but as of yet they have failed to accept our word that people are actively out there searching for ‘dog friendly’ accommodation. If you have a view on this or would use such accommodation if it was provided please use the comment box to let us know.


Great post, I’ve just got a poodle puppy to train.
We find it very difficult to find dog friendly accommodation and would love somewhere close to the mournes that offers this.
My family and I are all dog owners, we love viisting Ireland , as we have for many years and we would really
love to bring the dogs with as we know they would enjoy beautiful beaches and the countryside.
Many of us have Dogs as pets.
To take your beloved pet with you on Holiday Is something most of us would and do like to do
Accommodation suited for this Is hard to find
We have been searching for suitable self catering in Co Down where we can take our dog with us and found most places do not accept pets,as we are not willing to put pet in kennels we have now booked in South of Irealnd where there are more available places.Northern Ireland is losing tourist trade that it can’t afford to lose
We would definately be interested in dog friendly accommodation. Very hard to find, and for that reason we don’t go away as much as we could.
Sounds great! I’ll be one of your first guests, along with my lovely golden Labradoodle, Ellie! We can’t wait!!
We have been searching to find dog friendly self catering holiday homes in Northern Ireland and struggled to do so. We found a really good selection in England including hotels, but we want to holiday at home so we fully support any accommodation with pet friendly availability. There must be a massive demand for this as there are thousands of dog owners in NI.
pets – yes please
