About Dog Friendly Stays

Dog Friendly Stays is an independent guide to places to stay in Ireland that welcome dogs.

"Pet friendly" on a booking site can mean almost anything. One hotel puts your dog in the room with a bed and a bowl; another allows one small dog in a single ground-floor room for a nightly fee; another keeps dogs in a stable outside. We read each venue's own dog policy and set out what it actually says, so you can compare before you book.

What you will find here

• 74 hotels, cottages, glamping sites, campsites and guesthouses, each with the dog fee, the limits on size and number, where dogs can and cannot go, and what is provided.
• A link to the exact page on the venue's website we read, and the date we read it.
• Official rules for travelling with a dog on Irish trains, buses and ferries, and in national parks and forests.
• Open data you can download and reuse.

What you will not find

No star ratings or reviews from us, no paid placements and no affiliate links. Venues do not pay to be listed and cannot pay to be ranked higher.
