South Devon holiday park has the bow-wow-wow factor

Whitehill Country Park in sunny South Devon has set tails wagging following the recent launch of a series of dog-friendly initiatives aimed at four-legged friends.

The Paignton Premier Park has added to its pooch appeal with the launch of a number of new dog-friendly caravans, including a boutique range for hounds looking to holiday in style. Better still, the family run holiday park has also introduced a warm doggy shower, brand new for 2016, which offers pooches privacy when cleaning their muddy paws.

The new doggy shower is one of many dog-friendly facilities found at the park, with its dedicated dog exercise area and complimentary doggy bags also proving a pooch-tastic hit.

Whitehill Country Park Marketing Director, Claire Jeavons, said: 'It’s estimated that around 12 million households in the UK own pets, including 8.5 million dogs, and our holiday park has certainly seen a great demand for dog-friendly holidays in recent years. Dogs are very much part of the family and our aim at Whitehill is to make them feel just as welcome as their human counterparts, and the introduction of more dog-friendly caravans, coupled with the new doggy shower, are proving a hit among owners and dogs alike.'

Nestled amid rolling countryside yet just moments from the English Riviera sea, Whitehill’s prime setting has the bow-wow factor, with its private woodland - a walkies wonderland.

Those holidaying with four-legged friends are spoilt for choice with a wide range of dog-friendly accommodation including caravans, luxury lodges, touring and camping pitches. Better still, all guests holidaying with dogs are given a Whitehill Doggy Information Guide on arrival which promotes all the delightful dog-friendly walks and attractions found in Devon.
