Everybody wants to travel the world and see wonders such as Niagara Falls, Machu Picchu and the Colosseum, but that’s not always an option when you want your beloved family pet to join the fun too. While there are so many destinations to choose from when planning your trip, don’t overlook the beauty of enjoying dog friendly holiday cottages in the United Kingdom.
Sometimes it’s nice to have a break with your entire household, even if you are going to Australia without your pet at some stage. You can of course take your pet abroad but this can be a hassle, or you can check them into a dog hotel, but we will run through some of the best holiday cottages to rent in the UK when you are taking your dog with you.
