Dog-friendly breaks in Northern Ireland, beside the sea.

Set between the Antrim hills and the Irish Sea, The Shepherds’ Rests offers a relaxed base for pet-friendly holidays in Northern Ireland. Spend the day on coastal paths, village walks and forest trails, then return to your own warm hut and private outdoor space. Every hut includes a private hot tub and fire pit for the humans, while dog bowls, towels and other useful extras make arrival simpler.

A dog-friendly walk on the Antrim Coast

The good walks start here.

From Carnlough harbour and the Causeway Coast Way to wooded trails in Glenariff, there is no shortage of places to stretch four legs—or two. Beach access and seasonal dog restrictions can vary, so check local signage and keep dogs under effective control around livestock and wildlife.

Pack the lead. We’ll take care of the rest.
