Dog Friendly Holidays in Cleethorpes

What's available for dog owners

BritStays currently lists 15 dog-friendly stays in the Cleethorpes region, and every one is marked Pet Friendly. The mix leans heavily towards caravanning: 10 of the 15 are caravan stays, with 2 campsites, 2 hotels and 1 holiday park making up the rest. If you're happy with your dog snoozing by the caravan door after a day out, you'll have plenty to compare. If you'd rather have a hotel room, your choice is much narrower.

Cleethorpes itself has the most options (7), followed by Grimsby (3) and Hull (2). Barnetby, Louth and Withernsea have one each. Our listings don't record whether a stay is by the sea or further inland, so if a coastal or countryside setting matters to you, check the map and description on each listing before you commit.

Matching the stay to your trip

Families who want plenty on site. Five of the 15 stays have a swimming pool, and a few add evening entertainment.

• Thorpe Park Holiday Park in Cleethorpes has a pool, evening entertainment and a bar.
• Cleethorpes Pearl Holiday Park in Grimsby has a pool, hot tub and evening entertainment.
• Withernsea Sands Holiday Park has a pool, bar and restaurant.

With a dog in tow, it's worth working out in advance who stays with them while everyone else swims or watches the show.

Couples after a bit of a treat. Patrington Haven Leisure Park lists a pool, gym and spa. Furze Farm Estate combines a pool, hot tub and restaurant. Westfield Country Park offers a hot tub and a cafe. All three are listed under Cleethorpes.

Simpler, quieter pitches. These suit you if your dog prefers peace to crowds.

• Windy Ridge Caravan Site & Fishing Lakes in Grimsby has toilets and a picnic area. It's an obvious one to look at if you fish.
• Happyford CL in Louth has toilets and is near a bus stop.
• The Vines Campsite has a bar, toilets and disabled access.
• Driftwood Caravan Site has a bar, cafe and takeaway food. A takeaway is handy when you'd rather eat with your dog than leave them behind.

Travelling by train or wanting a city base. Five stays are near a train station. These include Kingston Theatre Hotel in Hull, which also has a restaurant, and Mealand Hill Caravan Park in Barnetby. Travelodge Hull Central has a restaurant and disabled access.

Facilities worth checking before you book

Don't assume the basics. Across the 15 dog-friendly stays:

• 7 list parking
• 7 list toilets
• 7 have a restaurant
• 6 have a bar
• 6 have EV charging nearby, including Holderness Country Park

If you're driving or need facilities close to your pitch, confirm them on the listing.

Pet Friendly can mean different things at different places, so ask a few direct questions:

• How many dogs can you bring?
• Is there an extra charge?
• Are dogs allowed in the bar, restaurant or cafe?
• Are any parts of the site off limits?

Days out in and around the region

The attractions near this region lean towards families:

• The Jungle Zoo and Play Factory Louth are both listed under Cleethorpes.
• The Animal Education centre is in Hull.
• The Chadwick Centre, a museum and gallery, is elsewhere in Lincolnshire.
• Skegness has Natureland Seal Sanctuary, Fairy Dell Paddling Pool, Skegness Water Leisure Park and Captain Kids Adventure World.

We don't hold information on whether these attractions admit dogs. Zoos, wildlife centres, water parks and indoor play venues are exactly the kinds of places where you should check before setting off. A sensible approach is to plan your day so that someone takes the dog for a walk while the rest of the group goes in. Or choose a stay with a cafe or picnic area where you can regroup afterwards.

When to book

We can't give you live availability, but the numbers point to some honest advice:

• Book hotels early. With only 2 dog-friendly hotels among the 15, hotel rooms for dog owners are the scarcest option. Book early if that's what you need.
• Expect busy school holidays at the bigger parks. Holiday parks with pools and entertainment tend to fill up then, so book well ahead if your dates are fixed.
• Travel off-peak if you can. If you're flexible and travelling without children, quieter periods usually mean more choice and a calmer site for your dog.

Whenever you book, get the dog-friendly terms confirmed in writing, including any fees and limits. Check parking and toilets on the listing rather than assuming. Before you go, look up whether your planned days out allow dogs, so nobody ends up waiting in the car park.
