Hello! I’m Ian Barnes, an IT professional and passionate blogger specialising in the British outdoors. My journey to create MyPAWfectPlace began with the hours I spent trying to figure out whether I could take my dog somewhere. All too often, a website for an individual venue lacks details about its dog policy.
I wanted to explore further, but I didn’t want to leave my dog behind or spend every trip worrying about whether we were welcome.
MyPAWfectPlace is a searchable online directory showcasing the UK’s (and Isle of Man’s) best places to stay, eat, and go where dogs are welcome. Dog owners shouldn’t need to leave their much-loved four-legged friends at home.
MyPAWfectPlace is growing into The UK Dog-Friendly Travel Guide, a shared space. A place where walks become stories, stories become inspiration, and inspiration nudges us all to get outside a little more.
