Pet Friendly Breaks

We all deserve a little break now and then, and your furry friend does too! Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast and the Glens of Antrim are home to some incredible dog friendly businesses.

You and your best friend can cosy down and rest your heads after a busy day of exploring our many beaches and forest parks. Whether you choose to slumber in style at one of our hotels, or camp out in the countryside at one of our self-catering glamping sites is up to you.

Treat yourselves to a puppaccino at our dog friendly cafes, sample local produce at our warm and welcoming restaurants, or take that obligatory photo of your pooch posed with a pint of Guinness at our dog-friendly pubs in the area (just make sure they don’t sneak a cheeky sip when you’re not looking!)

The Causeway Coastal Route was even confirmed as being the Most Dog-Friendly Road Trip in Northern Ireland by a study done by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts (2024).
