The Whalesborough Welcome

Your dog is as welcome
as you are

We believe that your dog's stay at Whalesborough should be as relaxing and enjoyable as yours. So we've built that belief into every single detail.

From luxury welcome packs waiting on arrival to dog showers for when they've found the muddiest field on the estate — we've made sure that having your dog with you feels entirely uncomplicated.

Six Reasons to Bring Your Dog

Everything considered. Nothing forgotten.

01

428 Acres to Explore

Long walks, open countryside, fresh air, and fields big enough for any dog to find their own adventure. Our private estate offers more space than most dogs ever encounter in one place.

02

Luxury Pooch Welcome Packs

Waiting in your cottage on arrival. Everything your dog needs to feel at home from day one — treats, essentials, and the kind of welcome that tells you we've thought this through.

03

Dog Showers

Whether they've been swimming at the beach or rolled through every muddy field on the estate, our dog shower facilities mean they come home clean. A game-changer for cottage stays.

04

Enclosed Private Gardens

All but one of our cottages have private enclosed gardens. Let your dog out without a lead, without the anxiety — and enjoy your morning coffee in peace.

05

Large Indoor Dog Crates

Every property has large dog crates for your dog to relax in when you step out. So you can visit the spa or restaurant without worrying about what's happening back at the cottage.
