pets can stay too
Dog friendly holidays

At Bainland, dog friendly stays have been thoughtfully created with both you and your pet in mind. Cosy lodges in Lincolnshire, sleeping from 2 to 24 guests, are nestled in peaceful surroundings and fitted with all the comforts of home. On arrival, every dog is treated to a welcome pack, a small gesture that makes a big difference. Paths for morning strolls, secure spaces for play, and laid-back vibes throughout mean tails will be wagging from the moment you arrive.

Feline friends are also very welcome. Just give us a heads-up when booking, and everything will be arranged for your cat’s comfort. From lazy afternoons to cosy evenings, every part of your stay has been designed to feel relaxed, inclusive, and completely pet friendly.

Where Walkies Begin

Tucked away in the peaceful countryside, Bainland is perfectly placed for dog friendly holidays. Just minutes from Woodhall Spa, beautiful pet friendly woodland walks can be enjoyed all year round. Nearby, stunning dog friendly beaches in Lincolnshire offer plenty of space to stretch legs and sniff the sea air. Whether it’s a short break or a longer stay, the countryside around Bainland has been made for wagging tails.

PET FRIENDLY ACCOMMODATION

Paws and Relax

Our dog friendly log cabins have been thoughtfully created with every detail in mind. After countryside strolls, muddy paws can be easily cleaned at our dog wash station near reception, leaving paw prints outside where they belong. Many lodges feature enclosed gardens or decking, giving your dog space to roam safely while you unwind. Dine in peace with our pet friendly restaurant, thanks to The Nest, our relaxed bar and restaurant.
