Dog Friendly Cottages for 4 Dogs
When it comes to planning a dog-friendly holiday it’s easy to find pet-friendly holiday cottages throughout the UK. But it can be a little trickier if you’re travelling with multiple dogs.
Dog Friendly Cottages makes this easy; you can search the website based on how many guests will be staying and how big the pack is so you can filter holiday homes that will accept, for example, four or more pooches!
There’s something for everyone, whether it’s a barn conversion surrounded by farmland and rolling hills, a beautiful mansion in a national park, or a pretty self-catering cottage near sandy beaches.
