Dog-friendly cottages designed with your pet in mind
Not just dog-friendly – dog-focused. At Center Parcs, you can book a specially equipped holiday cottage designed for guests travelling with dogs. These cosy, pet-friendly cottages include everything your four-legged companion needs for a comfortable stay.
Inside, you’ll find two soft dog cushions, food and water bowls, and a crate where your dog can settle in and relax. Outside, enjoy a fully enclosed garden – perfect for letting your dog roam safely while you unwind with a book or a cup of coffee.
These cottages are part of our Premium range and sleep up to four people, making them ideal for couples or families who want their dog to be part of the holiday – not left behind.
With forest trails, lakes or even the coast just a short walk away, this is a break where you and your dog can truly feel at home.
Where are our dog-friendly cottages?
At Center Parcs, your dog is welcome in every park. However, our dog-friendly cottages are available in the following parks. Our dog friendly holiday parks are located in peaceful, green surroundings — the perfect setting for both relaxation and tail-wagging exploration.
You can book our specially equipped dog-friendly cottages at several of our most nature-rich destinations, including:
- Het Meerdal (Netherlands) – Set in the Limburg forests, near the peaceful De Groote Peel National Park.
- De Kempervennen (Netherlands) – Surrounded by woodland and lakes, ideal for lakeside strolls with your pup.
- Het Heijderbos (Netherlands) – Bordering dense forest with quiet walking routes and off-lead zones.
- De Eemhof (Netherlands) – Right on the edge of Lake Eemmeer, perfect for waterside walks.
- De Huttenheugte (Netherlands) – Near the Dwingelderveld National Park, with plenty of open space on-site.
- Erperheide (Belgium) – Tucked away in the Belgian woods, ideal for peaceful getaways with your dog.
- Bispinger Heide (Germany) – Surrounded by the vast Lüneburger Heide, made for long nature walks.
Wherever you stay, nature begins at your doorstep. You relax, your dog gets the freedom to explore. And that’s exactly why so many dog owners choose Center Parcs for their next break.
Scenic dog walks right outside your cottage
When you book a dog friendly holiday cottage at Center Parcs, nature isn’t just nearby — it’s all around you. Step out the door and you’ll find woodland trails, lakeside paths or even dunes and beaches ready to explore. Every location is hand-picked for space, scenery and freedom, so your dog can enjoy the outdoors as much as you do.
Several parks include off-lead areas, waymarked walking routes, and practical touches like dog waste bag stations along the paths. Whether you're weaving through forest trails, strolling along the water or heading out into open fields, it’s all part of the adventure.
After a long day of exploring? Stretch out on the terrace while your dog naps in the enclosed garden — safe, relaxed and completely at ease. This is what a dog friendly holiday should feel like.
What to know before bringing your dog

- Keep their vaccination documents handy — our staff may ask to see them.
- Dogs must be kept on a lead in all public areas, except in designated off-lead zones.
- Assistance dogs are always welcome in all cottages, hotel rooms and indoor facilities like the Market Dome.
- Not all cottages allow pets — make sure to select a pet-friendly option when booking.
