Dog friendly self catering accomodation?

[alisont]

Me mum and dad are looking for a self catering break in the Easter break for a week.

We have to put Jeds needs first! we need a bungalow or cottage with 1 bedroom downstairs as Jed cant manage/risk stairs. He is use to me having my room downstairs here and will not settle well if we are all upstairs.

Also have to have an enclosed garden - not big just enclosed.

Apart from that not that fussy! needs at least 2 bedrooms.Its a bonus if its near to bus/train route as i dont drive.

I found a great place in Shaldon devon but parents think that is too much of a drive (Jed is not always the best of travellers)it also had steps to the garden, so everyone fancies Dorset - Bridport, Lyme Regis, Weymouth, Poole etc...but also like Yorkshire coast. Looking 3-4 hours from Midlands pref 3.

I found a wonderful cottage in Dorset til I saw it was owned by a beef farmer and on farm land (not an ethical vegan choice!)very annoyed about that as it ticked all the boxes!

I know I'm a fussy one! but i do all the leg work for holidays. Guineas/bunny have got their accom sorted with Rachel who runs a small pet hotel.

So after much waffling does anyone know of any holiday properties or companies that are dog friendly? availability is scarce being Easter hols!

Thanks Alison

Hope you find what you're after Alison

You have my sympathy - we had this problem every year - we bought a caravan in the end - dogs LOVE it!

Look in W H Smith/bookshop in the holiday/travel section - there's a book called Pets Welcome or something like that, think it's about £6 or so and it's full of places welcoming dogs.

If you want to take your dog on the beach, you'll need to check the local laws. It's something that really annoys me that whenever we go on holiday between April & October we very often can't take dogs on the beach.

Thanks for links will have a look tomorrow

Jeds not meant to go off the lead now but cant resist it on the beach he loves it so much! we usually go right up the end of a beach often a dog area!

Am certain we will find something, just a case of searching more! the farm cottage is good but i just dont think i could pay a beef farmer being vegan!

Try 'cottages 4 you'

You can do an 'availability search' on the dates you want, specifying 'pets welcome', 'enclosed garden' and any other requirements you may have.
