1. Choose the Perfect Destination


Finding a location that caters to both you and your dog is key. Whether it’s a cosy countryside retreat or a coastal escape, look for properties close to dog-friendly walking trails, beaches, and attractions. At XL Escapes, all our properties are handpicked with dogs in mind, so you can relax knowing your pet is welcome.


2. Pack the Essentials


Before heading off, make sure you have everything your dog needs to feel at home:

Lead, harness, and collar

Dog bed or blanket

Food and water bowls

Favourite toys

Poo bags


Many of our properties provide essentials like bowls and blankets, but having a few familiar items can help your dog settle in quickly.


3. Plan for Safe Travels


Make the journey as stress-free as possible for your pet. Use a secure crate or harness while travelling and plan regular breaks for water and toilet stops.


4. Explore Dog-Friendly Activities


From sandy beaches to scenic countryside trails, there are plenty of adventures to enjoy with your dog. Many local pubs, cafes, and attractions welcome dogs, so you won’t miss out on the fun. Each XL Escapes property listing includes nearby dog-friendly activities to help you plan.


5. Relax and Enjoy Your Stay


Once you arrive, it’s time to unwind! Let your dog explore their new surroundings, enjoy the secure garden, and settle into the comforts of your chosen retreat. With XL Escapes, you can create lasting memories with your dog by your side.
