Explore Dog-Friendly Holidays in the East Neuk of Fife
From beach getaways to lodge retreats and holiday park stays, there are far more options for holidays with your dog than there used to be. And the East Neuk of Fife is full of all kinds of stay and activities for you, your family and your dog, so why not bring them with you?
You could explore the Fife coastal path from Elie to St Monans or try further up with a stroll from Anstruther to Crail. If you and your pooch prefer land over sea, consider St Andrews or one of the dog-friendly lodges at Stewarts Resort near Cameron Reservoir.
There’s a range of dog-friendly accommodations in Fife, from St Andrews to Elie to Crail and back, so nothing is holding you back.
