Dog-friendly Cottages
It's hard if you have to leave a family member behind when you go away, because as every dog owner knows, the family pet just wants to be part of the action. So we are happy to report that there are now more UK holiday cottages than ever that will welcome your pet. Our guide to the UK's best dog-friendly holiday cottages rounds up the best dog-friendly properties across the country, from cottages and apartments to cabins, lodges and other holiday accommodation, including large properties for gatherings of family and friends.. Of course, they are all are terrific places to stay even if you don't have a dog, but for dog-owners it means no more wondering whether your treasured family pet is welcome or not. Every place in our Cool Places guide welcomes dogs on your holiday or weekend break, and some really go the extra mile, providing treats, dog-welcome packs, enclosed gardens, doggie-wash areas and other helpful facilities.
