they’d ask to come to The Mole Resort
Dog Friendly Breaks
Where dogs are part of the family
At The Mole, we’re about being more than pet friendly. We’re pet fanatical. We’ve tried to think of everything to make sure you and your furry friend feel truly at home. From a doggy hamper filled with goodies to a host of dog-friendly activities. From a dedicated dog-only area to miles and miles of woodland walks. Our dog friendly lodges even have a warm outdoor tap to wash those muddy paws after you’ve been out exploring the breathtaking Devonshire landscape. How’s that for welcoming?
It's not surprising then that The Mole was awarded Best in Show by PetsPyjamas Travel Awards.

What to Expect
Working with Beco, a brand this committed to quality pet products, with as little impact on the planet as possible, we've pulled together an exciting hamper, just for your four-legged companion. Each hamper includes:
Microfibre dog towel
Pack of unscented waste bags
Ball on rope hemp toy
Collapsible travel bowl
Pack of plant based treats
Dine with your dog
Taking your dog with you on holiday shouldn’t mean being limited in eating out. And at The Mole, it doesn’t. Dogs are welcome to dine with their pawrents in the Cellars Bar or The Bistro. We even have a dog-friendly menu – a reward for being such good doggies.
Dog activities for active dogs
We want your dog’s day to be as active as yours. Which is why we have a host of dog-activities.
DOG PAINTING
No, we don’t mean painting pictures of your dogs. We mean your dogs paint the pictures. With non-toxic paints and a blank canvas, you can help them release their inner Vincent Van Dogh or Frida Pawlo.
COMING SOON, SPRING 2024
Disc Golf
Formerly known as Frisbee golf, Disc Golf is a fun and challenging game where players throw discs at a target. And now your dog can join in by fetching the discs.
Agility course
You can hire an agility course to keep your dog extra entertained. Who knows, we may have a future Crufts’ Winner in the making.

The rise (and rise) of
dog friendly breaks
Recent years have seen a huge boost in the amount of people looking for dog friendly holidays. And it’s only set to rise this year.
A combination of the Covid boom in pet ownership plus increased costs of taking your pet abroad post Brexit, means that more and more dog owners are looking for dog friendly breaks in the UK. According to the Dog’s Trust, about 70% of owners take their dog with them on holiday in the UK while the Kennel Club data says 91% of people feel their dog has a positive impact on their mental health and wellbeing. Not surprising then that ‘dog friendly lodges’ is one of The Mole’s most popular search term.
And remember, each dog gets a complimentary hamper to enjoy, so book now!
Keep tails wagging while away
Here’s some helpful tips for a relaxing break for you and your pup.
- Let them explore. New places can be overwhelming for your pup. So let them check out The Mole at their own pace and in their own time.
- Give them time to rest. With over 125 acres of parkland to explore and a host of activities, your pup will be sure to be pooped. But remember dogs need at least 16 hours of sleep a day, so give them some downtime.
- Bring some familiar smells. Whether it’s their dog bed or blanket, or their favourite toy, bringing some scents from home will help them settle.
- Keep to their diet. While a few new treats are a great way to help them feel excited, a total change of food can cause an upset stomach. So bring enough of their food for your stay.
- Have a health check. Make sure they’re up-to-date with their vaccinations, flea and worm treatments. And if they’re on medication, bring enough for your whole stay.
