Dogs Welcome
A dog is part of the family - they deserve a holiday too!
We’ve designed our retreats with your four-legged friend in mind.
From our own experience of traveling with dogs, we believe the three most important features of a truly dog-friendly getaway are:
An enclosed garden
A thoughtfully curated dog welcome pack
Scenic walks right from the doorstep
A Space to Roam
Each of our retreats boasts a fully fenced garden, so you can open the door and let your pup explore safely. It’s a truly relaxing experience for both you and your dog.
A Warm Welcome
Upon arrival, your dog will be greeted with their very own welcome pack, including:
- A jar of tasty treats
- Food & water bowl
- Spare lead
- Biodegradable poo bags
- Towel for muddy paws
- Blanket for sofa snuggles
- Handy wipes or dry shampoo
- A squeaky toy or ball
A Home Away from Home
"A home is not complete without the pitter-patter of doggy feet."
We understand that snuggling up with your dog in the evening is part of the joy of a holiday, which is why we provide a blanket to keep our sofa pet-friendly. However, we kindly ask that dogs stay out of the bedrooms.
Need extra essentials? No problem! On request (at no extra cost), we can provide a crate, a Mud Daddy washer, stair gates, or a holiday tag.
The small fee (£25) for bringing your dog helps cover any additional cleaning and ensures their welcome pack is ready and waiting when you arrive.
Walks & Adventures
With so many dog friendly adventures to have in Worcestershire you’re spoilt for choice, check out our Dog Friendly page for some of our local recommendations.
Explore the beautiful surroundings with a variety of walks straight from your doorstep. We provide a selection of laminated A5 route guides, ranging from a gentle woodland stroll to a half-day hike in the hills. Feel free to take them with you on your adventure—just return them to the visitor book when you're back.
Your dog-friendly retreat awaits!
Highly Commended At Tourism Awards
After the Visit Worcestershire Tourism Awards on the 20th of March, I’ve taken a little time to properly reflect - not just on the results, but on the feedback we received and what it means for Hop Pickers going forward.
We were incredibly proud to be named Finalists in Camping, Glamping & Holiday Park of the Year, and to receive Highly Commended in Self-Catering Accommodation of the Year.
It was also lovely to see our recognition shared more widely in the local press, highlighting the work that goes into running a small, family-run rural retreat.
