Dog-friendly holiday cottages in Oxford

With its labyrinth of narrow, cobbled lanes lined by impressive honey-hued architecture, Oxford is a fascinating city to explore by foot with your dog. Famously known as ‘The City of Dreaming Spires’, you can easily find yourselves wonderfully lost amongst its historical sites, museums, galleries and shops. While dogs aren’t allowed in many of the University of Oxford buildings, there are plenty of photo opportunities from the outside, and the University Parks are perfect for letting your pup have a run. You might even recognise some of the buildings from your favourite films and TV shows, such as Harry Potter and Inspector Morse.

Choose one of our dog-friendly Oxford cottages and you can enjoy punting along the River Thames or hop aboard a relaxing river cruise - you’ll find many that are pet-friendly. Or if your dog has energy to burn, treat them to a scenic walk in one of the city’s picturesque parks including Shotover Country Park, Port Meadow, South Park, Florence Park or Cutteslowe and Sunnymead. And outside of the city, there are a wealth of dog-friendly attractions to discover in Oxfordshire such as Blenheim Palace (dogs welcome in the grounds), Cotswold Wildlife Park, and Deddington Castle.
