Ireland guide — 2026
Pet-Friendly Hotels — Dogs Welcome
Ireland is one of Europe's most dog-friendly travel destinations. Glendalough's forest trails, the Wicklow Way, Killarney's National Park lakeside walks, Connemara's bog roads and Donegal's sea-stack beaches are all exceptional for dogs. Irish hotels have responded — many now offer dog beds, treat baskets, walking maps and direct beach access. Kerry, Wicklow, Donegal and Galway have the highest concentration of genuinely dog-welcoming properties. Every hotel here is verified pet-friendly and bookable on IMPT at the lowest price guarantee — same as Booking.com or better.
