Making it so much easier to book a holiday for banned breeds. It’s also a very welcoming community!


Lara Chaplin, October 2025

We run a small business and offer camping, dog swimming pools, an enrichment centre and a secure field to all dogs, and obviously humans too. XL Escapes have been hugely supportive to us and many other small dog friendly businesses. Not only do they offer a great service to the public but all of the businesses they promote. They’re also just really kind.


Christopher Bowman, October 2025

Because you’re the only company that let my xl bully have a holiday


Angela McDonough, October 2025

Provide very clean and fantastic holiday homes for all the lovely bully’s


Mara Kilpatrick, October 2025

This is an incredible website and ethos, helping those owners who have been affected by BSL and dogs who have been wrongly labelled as dangerous. As an owner of a mastiff mix dog who has to be exempt for his own safety this website ensures we can still be a happy family and live life the way we should be able to with our dog. We know we can have fun family holidays without prejudice thrown at us just because of how our dog looks, not because of anything he has ever done.

An incredible resource for all XL dog families and should be recognised for all the hard work that has gone into it!


Belinda Hawkins, October 2025

They DON’T discriminate which is a huge problem in today’s world. It’s so hard to find places like holidays who take larger dogs or having to pay extra if you have a reactive dogs plus XL Escapes goes above and beyond to make it affordable and safe so owners can relax 🥰


Andrew Ewen, September 2025

Seeing how much this can benefit people and dogs, makes this such a great and unique business.


Stacey Deacon, September 2025

I voted for XL Escapes because they truly go above and beyond for both dogs and their owners. The accommodation is welcoming, safe, and thoughtfully designed with our dogs in mind, which is something very rare to find. It isn’t just about providing a place to stay – it’s about the genuine care, attention, and understanding that is poured into making every visit special.

As an XL bully owner, it means so much to finally have somewhere that treats our dogs with love, respect, and inclusion, rather than judgement or restriction. XL Escapes has created not only a safe haven, but also a sense of community and belonging where we can relax, knowing our dogs are as valued as we are. That dedication and commitment deserves recognition, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

A heartfelt thank you to the whole XL Escapes team for all the effort, passion, and kindness you put into everything you do. It makes such a difference, and it does not go unnoticed.
