    Mills River, United States
    Why it's cosy

    A beautifully kept retreat of wood-clad cabins, fenced grounds, and a fresh-water pond where dogs roam off-lead whilst their owners unwind on the porch, Barkwells pairs thoughtful touches, robes, birthday cakes, cappuccinos from the main office, with staff who remember both you and your dog by name on every return visit.
