- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.

Pet-friendly summary
Sandy Glade sits on the Coast Road at Berrow, on the long flat run of sand between Brean and Burnham-on-Sea, and it is set up for dogs in a way most holiday parks are not. Specific units are designated pet-friendly rather than dogs simply being tolerated, and up to two are allowed per booking. Guests who have stayed in those units describe them as basic but well matched to travelling with a dog, the sort of place where sandy paws are not a problem.
The setting is the main draw. Brean Down and miles of open beach are on the doorstep, and the park is laid out so the shop, takeaway and bar sit a two-minute walk from most pitches, which makes it easy to head out and come back without moving the car.
Two caveats matter more than usual here. The clubhouse and entertainment venue do not admit dogs, so if the evening entertainment is part of your plan, someone sits outside with the dog. There is a fair amount of outdoor seating, but it is not the same thing. And the beach, for all its size, has dangerous mud banks; it is not somewhere to let a dog run loose towards the water without knowing the tide.
The other thing to be straight about is consistency. Guest ratings average 7.7 out of 10 across more than five hundred reviews and the spread is wide. The grounds and the staff draw steady praise, while the condition of individual units varies a good deal, with stained furnishings and cleaning misses coming up repeatedly. Check what grade of unit you are booking, and look it over on arrival before you unload the dog.
Best suited to families who want beach and on-site facilities at a modest price and will accept a basic unit, travelling with one or two dogs happy to skip the clubhouse.
