A staggering 67% of us took our dog on holiday last year and if you are planning a break with your four-legged friend, Newcastleton really is the perfect choice.

With a quarter of the UK adult population owning a dog and an estimated population of 9 million pet dogs, there is absolutely no doubt that we are a nation of great dog lovers.

If you are a dog owner, you will know that your four-legged friend is very much a part of the family and when it comes to family holidays, that they are just never the same if you leave them behind in kennels.

That explains why more than half of dog owners now plan their holidays around their dog, with a similar number saying that they would enjoy their break more if their do went with them. Some people even admit that they miss their dog more than their partner!

Whilst it is now possible to travel abroad with your dog with a pooch passport, holidaying in the UK is far and away the most popular option for the British.
