Pet friendly self catering holiday accommodation in the UK

<body> <p><strong>Pet friendly self-catering holiday accommodation, in the UK / Great Britain from Country Cottages Online</strong></p> <p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Most of us hate the idea of leaving pets behind or at the kennels. Some pets will grieve for the entire holiday and often sulk for days following your return - and who can blame them! The idea of being able to take your pet on holiday sounds attractive. Well, the good news is that if you stay in <strong>self-catering accommodation</strong> then you often can.  <strong>Self-catering accommodation</strong> of all types abounds.  There are the traditional stone built<strong> country cottages</strong> with roses rambling over the porch, modern <strong>bungalows</strong>, converted <strong>farm buildings, crofts</strong> and even castles.  The choice is is yours and with it comes freedom.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">A <strong>self-catering holiday cottage</strong> where pets are welcomed could be a boon. Dogs are generally used to travelling in a car and can be taken on holiday without too much bother. You will need to ensure a supply of drinking water and occasional stops for your pet. </font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Do give some thought to your destination and what you plan to do there. A sheep chasing dog in the countryside is not welcomed by anyone, nor is a dog that gets left behind to cause damage in a cottage because he's not used to being left for lengthy periods whilst you visit the local attractions.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Most dog owners are very responsible people and will not allow their dog to cause damage or mess. Many cottage owners who welcome pets will have experience of keeping pets themselves and be sympathetic. They may even have additional facilties for them. They will be able to advise you about the best places to walk your dog and of a suitable vet in case of emergency.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Of course it is possible to take other types of pets on holiday with you but it is not always advisable. Cats do not respond well to change and may escape in a strange environment. The factors to consider are:</font> <ul> <li><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">the well-being of your pet</font> </li> <li><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">possible damage to the cottage</font> </li> <li><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">effect on your enjoyment</font> </li> <li><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">cost of leaving your pet behind</font> </li> </ul> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">If taking your pet will cause you undue stress then leave it suitably provided for at home. You can always ring to enquire about its welfare. And, if you plan to take any other pet on holiday apart from a dog, do check with the owners of the property first.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">It's a pet's life at Melfort Pier and Harbour (on the west coast of Scotland near Oban, Argyll) - comfortable 5 Star Loch side houses which sleep up 2-6, with a sauna and spa bath for the owners!

It also offers the chance to become a little fitter during your holiday with a daily swim.  </font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">A swimming pool is a great boon for families with children.  They will splash, swim and play for hours on end.  Give them a few water toys and they're in the element. Safety is a prime consideration and even if your children are good swimmers it is still essential to supervise them in the pool. </font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Remember to use plenty of sunscreen whilst swimming.  Britain is not famous for its sunshine, but even in Britain it is possible to burn quite easily, and especially when wet.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">The pool at Lodge  in Devon, in the south west of England offers a pool among other superb facilities. It sleeps 4 - 6</font></p> <font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2"><p>Whether it's home from home or an indulgence in a little opulence, enjoy a short break or even longer in a luxury self-catering cottage.</font> </p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">It's a delight to stay in a beautiful house with truly comfortable beds, linen sheets, and tasteful furnishings. The decor will add to your enjoyment and you may even acquire one or two ideas to apply in your own home.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2"><strong>Self-catering</strong> allows you the freedom to choose what you do and when, to eat out or eat in. Even if you decide to eat in, you don't necessarily have to spend hours in the kitchen cooking. Supermarkets stock a large selection of read-made meals, so that with a little preparation all you need to do is to heat or microwave according to instructions. </font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Select your <strong>holiday</strong> <strong>cottage</strong> carefully, bearing in mind the type of people you will be staying with. A week in the country with a group of friends sounds wonderful but will you all get on and be able to cope with that length of time together? It might be wise to invite certain people for a couple of days at a time so that you can enjoy their company briefy and avoid the boredom or conflict that could ruin an entire week. </font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Preparation is the key to getting the most out of your <strong>holiday</strong>. Find out everything that you can about places to visit, places to eat and drink, local amenities and events.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Whatever your reason for choosing a<strong> self-catering cottage</strong> with a swimming pool, we wish you a very happy and safe <strong>holiday</strong>!</font></p> <p><strong>Tel: 01245 425718 for a list of self-catering cottages with swimming pools. 2 years advertising for the price of one offer for holiday property owners.</strong></p>  </body>
