Cottage holidays for 2 with dog
Pet-friendly self-catering cottages, apartments and pine lodges are a Godsend for dog owners.
Self-catering gives you so much more flexibility, allowing you to please yourselves entirely. Eat in, eat out, whenever you decide, order a takeaway and share it between you at whatever time of day. This is what a holiday is all about. Time is on your side and you can take all the time you want to do what you want.
If it’s a beach holiday check the resorts to make sure there are no restrictions. Some beaches don’t allow dogs on the sands, while others, such as Saunton sands and Hele Bay in north Devon have no restrictions at all. Blue Flag beaches are wonderful for families but mean that dogs are banned. In most cases, especially in the north, there are dunes where yourselves and the dogs can set up your pitch for the day undisturbed. The same is true of places of interest. In the south of Devon even the South Devon Railway welcomes you and your dog to take a trip with them. So do a bit of research before you go to avoid any disappointments.
If you’re keen on walking then you and doggy are in for a treat. Either on the doorstep of your base or within a short car journey you’ll find costal paths, beautiful countryside and beauty spots to stretch your legs and enjoy the scenery. Don’t forget to take the dog lead and plenty of water. If you haven’t yet come across the Rosewood Pet Stuff collapsible bowl you should check it out. Ideal to take with you on walks, along with water, the rubber bowl holds about 8oz and it folds down to fit into a small bag or pocket. It is handy too for when you’re travelling so keep one in the car.
Remember that dogs, just like children, can get bored on a long journey so let them out regularly and when you’re packing for them for your trip to Devon be sure to take their food, favourite toys, bedding and grooming kit. It’s as well to also take a luminous or flashing collar so when your dog goes out in the dark in a strange environment you’ll be able to keep tabs on him/her
