How to Plan the Perfect Pet-Friendly Summer Staycation

• No extra arrangements – skip the hassle of finding kennels, sitters, or boarding.
  
• Less stress for pets – they stay by your side in a familiar family setting.
  
• More ways to explore – from leafy parks to pet-friendly attractions and the great outdoors, every day offers something new.
  
• Shared memories – holidays are richer when every family member, furry ones included, is part of the fun.

When it comes to travelling with pets, space and flexibility matter. Serviced apartments offer a more practical and comfortable option than standard hotel rooms or a holiday house pet friendly rental:

• More room to move: Separate living and dining areas mean your pet has space to stretch, relax, and feel at home.
  
• Home-like comforts: Kitchens, laundry facilities, and larger layouts are ideal for longer stays or school holiday breaks.
  
• Easy routines: Apartment-style stays give families more control over their day: something both kids and pets appreciate.

Punthill’s serviced apartments are designed with families in mind, making them the smarter choice for stress-free, pet-inclusive holidays.

Pets love routine, and a few small touches can help them feel at home during your staycation:

1. Pack your pet’s essentials:

Bring along toys, bedding, and bowls so they feel comfortable.

2. Stick to regular schedules:

Keep feeding and walking times consistent to give them a sense of security.

3. Create a cosy spot:

Use the apartment’s extra space to set up a dedicated rest area for your four-legged companion.

These simple steps make your holiday smoother for both you and your furry friend.

Holidays with kids and pets don’t need to be complicated. Here are a few tips to keep everything running smoothly:

• Book early: Pet-friendly apartments are limited, especially during school holidays. When you book early with Punthill Hotels, you’ll also save 15% off on every stay.
• Research pet-friendly locations: Look for nearby parks, trails, and cafés where your pet is welcome.
• Balance activities: Mix family outings with downtime so everyone, kids and pets included can relax.

With the right planning, your staycation becomes less about logistics and more about making memories.
