Glamping places perfect for different dog breeds

There’s a couple of things that your dachshund might find familiar about this beautiful space in Gloucestershire. First of all, it’s round and low to the ground, with a shiny coat that gleams in the sun. Secondly, it sits right at the top of a hill, looking down on everything around it with an air of command and ownership. Thirdly, it’s got a tonne of fun quirks and a personality that you'll love from the moment you meet.

This one’s for the street dogs, the rescue dogs, the dogs whose lineage isn’t so much unclear as written almost too plainly, in different languages, fonts and colours all over their bodies. Ty Nodyn is a little bit of everything, with parts having an alpine lodge feel, others like a country cottage and yet more that feel like an artist’s loft. It’s the perfect place to take your corgi-eared labra-whippoodle.

The Stilt House’s long, graceful legs have a certain whippet-y air about them, and the interior is perfect for the refined sort of dog that’s liable to bask by the fire for hours. Outside, there are giant wooden recliners by the lake, so humans can watch as the dog sprints round the water for its 60 seconds of daily exercise, before collapsing in an exhausted heap for the other 23 hours and 59 minutes of the day.

Big, bubbly and sociable, with so much going on that you can’t sit still – this is an over-excited, new people and smells everywhere, tippy tap retriever madness sort of place, from the train carriage beds in the bunk room to the hot tub, pizza oven and massive firepit outside. You can bring a tonne of people along with you and spend your time bouncing from one to the other with the sheer joy of friends and food.

If your dog’s fur is more carefully combed than a Japanese stone garden, and you’re worried it might leave you if you take it anywhere of which it disapproves, head for The Batman’s Summerhouse. Even the most pampered poodle will feel at home in its pale and interesting interior and, once they’ve chosen their spot, you’ll be able to enjoy the rest of the cabin and its quiet stretch of riverside.

Well, we said it’s a strong look and here it is. Get your mountain dog, fasten your gaiters and check all 63 of your zips, this is mountain dog country. Wrostler’s Barn is hidden in a corner of Cumbria where you can disappear for a few days of stoic silence and long hikes to windy peaks with your hardy hound. Come home smelling of woodsmoke and feeling as if civilisation sprung up while you were out in the hills.

When a place looks this much like you should be rolling up to it in a covered wagon and a checked shirt, there’s only one dog that comes to mind, the inimitable... whatever breed Lassie was. Even if you don’t have a [googles Lassie] Rough Collie with a long coat, the frontier feeling will kick in once you’re sitting in the rocking chairs by the hearth, which just so happens to be on the outside of the building, with amazing sea views.

It’s fluffy, fun and gorgeous – a complete cockapoo of a place, which isn’t an expression we can see catching on, but you know what we mean. The outdoor recliners and hilltop firebowl give the little cabin a personality that goes far beyond the long fur of its wildflower roof. You’ll be merrily scampering through the hills all day, then sinking down into contented sleep at sunset.
