When you decide to book your next break away, it’s only natural that you want to include your beloved four-legged friends. That’s why we are proud to be a fantastic dog friendly holiday park. The best part is that our lovely beach is dog friendly all year round!

Below we have highlighted 5 important reasons why we think it is integral to include your pets on your holidays.

  1. Spending quality time together and creating lasting memories. Dogs are highly social animals and love dedicating their time being with their loving owners. Whether its long walks along the Suffolk Coast or getting their paws wet on our beautiful beach, your dog will cherish these lasting memories.
  2. Health and Wellbeing for both pets and owners. Taking in a breath of fresh air is integral for our wellbeing and mental health. Not only does it help clear your mind, but it also improves fitness for both you and your four-legged friend. Take in a long stroll along the beach, a walk through the countryside or get out on the broads, however you want to explore make sure you immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.
  3. The perfect chance for you pets to make new friends. Dogs thrive on social interaction they make with other animals. Here at The Hollies, we have the perfect setting to meet other dogs and their owners. Head down our lovely steps straight onto the beach and let your pooch run free to meet some of the locals and their pooches.
  4. The wide range of fantastic dog friendly facilities. With the increasing amounts of people taking their dogs on holidays, there has been major increase in shops, restaurants, pubs and holiday parks now allowing dogs. Here in Kessingland, we have several restaurants and pubs that are very dog friendly, Kessingland Beach is also dog friendly all year round. The Hollies also has a wide selection of pet friendly self-catering lodges to hire.
  5. Reducing separation anxiety. It is only natural that our pets feel some stress and anxiety when they are separated from us. Bringing them with you on holiday reduces that stress, as they do not need to be away from you or placed in an unfamiliar environment such as boarding kennels. This way they can be by your side every step of the way.
