Easter holidays are a time for families to escape, relax, and explore — and for many, that means bringing their four-legged friends along for the adventure. Whether you’re heading to a coastal cottage, countryside cabin, or pet-friendly camping spot, travelling with pets brings its own challenges.
Between luggage, pet beds, food, toys, and all the family’s essentials, space disappears fast. That’s why hiring a roof box from West Midlands Roof Box Hire is the perfect solution. With extra storage and less clutter, your Easter journey becomes comfortable, organised, and stress-free — for both humans and pets.
Why a Roof Box is Perfect for Pet-Friendly Travel
Taking your dog or other pets on holiday is rewarding but can be tricky when the car’s packed to the brim. Pets need space to relax, stretch out, and stay comfortable during long journeys.
A roof box hire gives you the flexibility to move bulky items — such as bags, boots, and bedding — onto the roof, freeing up valuable room inside. That extra space means your pet can travel safely in a calm, ventilated area without being squeezed between suitcases.
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, we provide high-quality Thule Large 470-litre and Thule XXL 580-litre roof boxes — the perfect way to travel smart this Easter. Prices start from just £85 for one week or £125 for two weeks, making it an affordable and practical upgrade for your holiday.
Easter Pet-Friendly Destinations in the UK
1. The Lake District – Lakes, Walks, and Dog-Friendly Pubs
Few places in the UK are as welcoming to dogs as the Lake District. With endless walking trails, pet-friendly cottages, and lakeside pubs that happily serve water bowls and treats, it’s the ideal Easter break for families with dogs.
Packing for this kind of trip means walking boots, coats, towels, and dog gear — all of which take up space. With a roof box, you can keep the car tidy while still bringing everything you need for a week of muddy paws and happy tails.
2. The Welsh Coast – Sands, Scenery, and Sniffing Adventures
The beaches of Pembrokeshire, Anglesey, and the Llyn Peninsula are great for Easter holidays with dogs. Many beaches lift their dog restrictions until summer, meaning your furry friend can enjoy long runs on the sand.
Roof box hire makes travelling with dogs to coastal destinations much easier. Store your beach gear, spare towels, and cool boxes on the roof, leaving room inside for your pet’s bed and toys — and maybe a few sandy pawprints too.
3. The Peak District – Walks, Trails, and Cosy Evenings
With its gentle hills, dog-friendly inns, and scenic trails, the Peak District is another top choice for pet-friendly Easter trips. Whether you’re camping, glamping, or staying in a holiday cottage, it’s easy to see why so many families bring their pets here.
Our Thule 470L and 580L roof boxes are perfect for packing bulky items like bedding and outdoor gear. With everything stored securely above, you’ll have plenty of space for your dog to stretch out comfortably on the back seat.
4. Devon and Cornwall – Dog-Friendly Coastal Cottages
For families who love the sea, Devon and Cornwall are ideal for Easter breaks. From scenic cliff walks to pet-welcoming cafés, you’ll find endless opportunities for adventure.
Travelling to the South West often means a long drive — and that’s where a roof box truly shines. By moving luggage out of the car, your dog can enjoy the journey without feeling confined. Plus, with your gear safely packed in a weatherproof Thule box, there’s no need to worry about rain or sea spray.
5. Scotland’s Countryside – Wide Open Spaces for Every Breed
If you’re looking for something more adventurous, head north for an Easter escape in Scotland. Whether it’s the Cairngorms, the Trossachs, or a lodge in the Highlands, Scotland’s open landscapes and peaceful roads are perfect for pet owners.
With a Thule XXL 580L roof box, you can bring everything from hiking gear to extra blankets without filling the car. Pets can travel safely and comfortably while you enjoy the freedom of the open road.
How a Roof Box Helps When Travelling with Pets
Bringing your pet along adds a few extra layers of planning to any journey. Here’s how a roof box hire can make it easier this Easter:
- More Room for Pets: Move bulky luggage to the roof so your pet has a calm, comfortable space inside.
- Better Organisation: Separate pet gear (like toys and leads) from clothes and food supplies.
- Safe and Secure Storage: Thule boxes are lockable and weatherproof, keeping everything dry and secure.
- Clean and Tidy: Keep muddy boots, towels, and gear out of the main cabin.
- Flexible Hire Options: Perfect for weekend breaks or full Easter getaways — from £85 per week or £125 for two weeks.
Our professional fitting service ensures your roof box is safely installed before you set off, giving you complete peace of mind for your Easter journey.
Tips for Travelling with Pets This Easter
- Plan Rest Stops: Dogs need regular breaks for water, walks, and toilet time — especially on long drives.
- Use a Seat Belt Harness or Travel Crate: Keep your pet secure during the journey for safety.
- Bring Familiar Items: Blankets or toys help pets feel relaxed in the car.
- Avoid Overheating: Keep the car well-ventilated and shaded if the sun appears.
- Book Pet-Friendly Accommodation Early: Easter gets busy, and the best spots fill quickly.
With the right preparation (and a spacious car setup), travelling with pets can be as relaxing as it is rewarding.
