Here at Parkdean Resorts, it’s no secret that we love dogs - and we know that when it comes to planning a holiday, your trip will be that much sweeter with your four-legged friend in tow. To give you a glimpse of the kind of holiday you could be enjoying with your dog, we enlisted the help of an adventure-loving labradoodle to review one of our dog friendly holiday parks - exploring some of our favourite walks and capturing each scenic trail on camera.
Meet Mika
Mika the Labradoodle, Head of Walkies at Parkdean Resorts, took to the paths of Bideford Bay to review this picturesque area for fellow pooches and their families. Armed with a GoPro attached to a doggie harness, the head of the canine camera crew set off in search of the local sights and sounds. Mika had quite the escapade, gathering some first-hand footage of some of the things you and your dog can expect to see on your travels in and around our holiday parks.
Thanks to a little assistance from a post-production team, Mika was able to expertly edit footage of the great scenery and stunning views and transform this into a short film for you to enjoy. Take a look at Mika’s video here:

Reasons to holiday with your dog
We all know that ‘staycation’ holidays provide the perfect opportunity to rest and relax indoors or explore all that the Great British outdoors has to offer – depending on your plans – but did you ever think that your dog might need a holiday, too?
A break with your pet can be great for you and your dog – allowing you both to enjoy quality down time away from the busy schedules of everyday life. With hectic work schedules and the demands of day-to-day life, all too often, family time can fall by the wayside – making trips like these all the more important. By dedicating a trip to spending time together as a whole family, you and your pet can make the most of this break away from home. You’ll also have the added bonuses of not having to arrange suitable care for your pooch or worrying about them while you’re away. From days spent walking by the beach to cosy evenings in your very own lodge, you can enjoy it all – together.
