Dog-Friendly Holidays

Travelling with our four-legged friends is an ever-growing trend.
Whether it be DINKWADS (dual income, no kids, with a dog) or families with their beloved clan of labradors or labradoodles, the trend for pet-friendly stays is on the rise.
With this in mind, The Wow House Company have curated luxury staycations to accommodate all the family.
