It’s hard to explain to a dog that you’re just going away on holiday and you’ll be back. Many dogs suffer from separation anxiety and, although they put up with being kennelled, they’re not really happy. Dogs are highly sociable animals, they thrive on joining in and they love being with their own people best. It’s tough leaving a furry family member behind. Thankfully there are plenty of pet friendly cottages whose owners happily include dogs in the deal.
Cornwall is extremely popular with its fine, warm Gulf Stream-led weather and friendly, mellow feel. So if you’re after dog friendly accommodation in Cornwall it’s wise to book early before everything gets snapped up. Take the time to do your research and if you’re lucky you’ll find a place that’s pet friendly and child friendly with lovely luxuries like an outdoor heated pool, tennis court, extensive grounds for your dog to explore and special kids’ play areas.
Dog friendly cottages in Cornwall give you and your pet access to some of the UK’s most beautiful beaches and the finest surfing in Britain. Take a stroll on stunning Bude and Widemouth Bay beaches and watch the surfers. Or take to the waves yourself. Take your dog on walks along the breathtaking, exhilarating South West Coast Path, a genuine jewel in the county’s crown. Or head for the moors together for a rugged day out discovering the beauty of Cornwall’s unique interior. Tiny, winding lanes with high hedges and blind corners. Sleepy villages and remote farms. Patchwork fields and cool copses to rest in, out of the sun. Lush forest, breathtaking sea views, friendly pubs and traditional cream teas…
You don’t necessarily need to compromise on quality when you take your pet on holiday with you. Four star luxury self-catering is still an option. If you like the idea of pretty, pet friendly cottages set in attractive, peaceful five acre grounds – including private woodlands – far from the madding crowds, Glebe House cottages fits the bill perfectly. You and your dog will enjoy a warm West Country welcome!
