How to find the best pet friendly holiday cottage
Fancy escaping it all but struggling to find the ‘right’ pet friendly holiday cottage?
For many, the thought of leaving a dog at home to board the week in kennels whilst you have all the fun is just too much to bear.
After, what can beat a bracing walk in the woods or along the beach with the dogs to clear the head? Many of our cottages can be booked in or around areas of interest such as National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty or the UK’s coastline.
And when you get back from your long walk, what else is important to you? A hose to wash off the mud (you can even search our site for a ‘holiday cottage with a hosepipe’). A utility room (yes, you can even search for that) to keep them out of the kitchen until they’re dry? Or perhaps a log burner for you all to cosy up to once it gets dark?
For those looking for something a little more special, you might also like a holiday cottage with a hot tub that accepts pets.
Do you have a holiday cottage that takes 2 dogs? Or more?
Yes! We have over 5,000 holiday cottages that take one or more dogs.
So perhaps you have several dogs of your own. Or you want to share a holiday cottage with friends and both parties want to bring a pet?
Either way, you can easily browse our range of holiday cottages and self-catering apartments that take 2,3, 4 or even 5 dogs!
Can I find a holiday cottage with an enclosed garden to stop my dog escaping?
Many of us have dogs that like to explore! And some dogs are more determined and more agile than others, when it comes to escaping a property!
For peace of mind, if your dog is a bit of a Houdini, we also have a category for pet friendly holiday cottages with enclosed gardens – although we would add that these cannot be considered 100% escape-proof!
What are the rules about accepting pets?
We do ask that you take full responsibility for your pet and that they are kept under control at all times, off the furniture and beds and exercised away from the property itself. They should also never be left alone in the property.
Please also note that some beaches in the UK only allow dogs out of the holiday season.
The best pet friendly holiday cottages
Of course, finding the best pet friendly holiday cottage very much depends on what you are looking for. And who will be joining you.
We have thousands of properties throughout the UK accommodating anything from two people up to 60!
You can narrow down your search by price and of course, you can select the features that are most important to you. We have literally hundreds of options for you to choose from – everything from a wine fridge, to home cinema, stair gate to swimming pool.
And believe it or not - there’s nothing more relaxing in the middle of winter than lying back in a hot tub, looking up at the stars with a glass of Prosecco in your hand...
Or perhaps a holiday cottage with a games room is more your thing, so you can hold a pool championship or challenge your friends to a game or table tennis?
