Pet friendly holiday cottages Devon

General information

Specialising in Devon holiday cottage breaks that are good for dogs.

I love Devon. It is just so nice to be somewhere with real old-fashioned countryside where honeysuckle and rambling roses grow in profusion in the hedgerows. There is no shortage of place for a wee which is important when there is a lack of lampposts. The cottages, villages and beaches are really pretty. There is always something beautiful to look at in Devon and it’s such a pet-friendly place to go on holiday; lots of people leave a bowl of water out to refresh a dog after a long country walk.

The best dog owners understand the need to get out and about and Devon is a wonderful holiday destination for doggy walks. The variety of walks is also good, beaches are good, especially in bright weather, the smells of woodland are divine and a gentle ramble thoroughly investigating corners and posts in the villages can be most interesting.

Some holiday cottages are better than others in welcoming dogs. The ones that have a good fenced garden are great because it’s better to be out sunbathing or napping in the shade on a hot day. Too much noise can be disturbing, so a cottage backing onto fields and farmland is wonderful and there’s always a passing rabbit or pheasant for a little amusement.

How a house looks outside is not important from a dog’s point of view. It’s the inside that counts. Comfy sofas, preferably covered with a throw, are good to sleep on. Underfloor heating that’s cosy on paws is heaven. Somewhere not too fussy, with easy to wipe clean floors, where people are going to complain about paw marks is also advisable. There is a big choice of dog friendly holiday accommodation in Devon that includes country cottages, farmhouses, pine lodges and holiday apartments. A cottage in the country, near lovely places to walk is what dogs really like.

Do spread the word amongst your dog loving friends about these wonderful pet-friendly holiday cottages in Devon. There are thousands of pets welcome cottages all over the UK but 9 out if 10 dogs prefer Devon. And how do we know? We asked them. Ask your dog if he’d like to go to Devon and he’ll say ‘woof’.
