If you’re looking for the ultimate countryside getaway with your four-legged best friend, look no further than a stay in the Cotswolds. With its rolling hills, chocolate-box villages, and miles of scenic walking trails, the Cotswolds is one of the most dog-friendly destinations in the UK. 
Whether you’re strolling through honey-hued towns like Bourton-on-the-Water or soaking up nature along the Cotswold Way, there’s something for every pup and their family to enjoy. Here’s your guide to making the most of a dog-friendly trip to the Cotswolds and a stay at Culls Cottage – Eco Chic Cottages place to stay for all the family.
The Cotswolds is a paradise for walkers—and that goes for dogs too. With over 3,000 miles of public footpaths, your biggest challenge will be choosing where to start.
Around our special part of The Cotswolds there are so many footpaths and lanes to walk with your enthusiastic pup but go further afield and the world is your oyster - villages or hills, towns or riverside footpaths.
Bibury to Coln St Aldwyns Loop – A gentle circular walk through postcard-perfect villages and meadows.
The Cotswold Way National Trail is a 102-mile route known for its stunning views and open fields.
Batsford Arboretum – Dogs on leads are welcome; a scenic stroll surrounded by beautiful trees and seasonal colours. 
Minchinhampton & Rodborough Commons – Wide ancient open spaces perfect for a runaround (just be mindful of cattle and wildlife).
After a long walk, there’s nothing better than a hearty meal or a cream tea—and the good news is, many Cotswolds establishments roll out the red carpet for dogs.
If your pup deserves a souvenir of their own—from artisan treats to stylish collars we have so many places to visit. Close to Culls Cottage is Hilliers garden centre in nearby Lechlade. It has a large selection of everything a dog needs in a special pet area.
