Dogs welcome West Country holiday cottages with a swimming pool

Rent a pet-friendly holiday cottage in the West Country with a swimming pool so that the entire family and dogs can go in holiday in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset or Dorset. The West Country is lovely to visit at any time of year, all those refreshing coastal walks, great sea views and pleasing countryside. Everyone has their favourite towns, villages or national parks. Thankfully, people are very different and the solitary expanse of Exmoor and its wild ponies may send some people into rapture, others prefer the tourist noise and bustle of seaside towns.

A swimming pool can be a real boon for a family break because it's instant entertainment and good exercise on holiday. An outdoor pool is marvellous for those hot days of summer although do check whether it is heated during the early and late periods from May to September. Each self-catering accommodation has its rules governing dog behaviour related to a pool. Your dog can always enjoy the family playing and splashing in the water and have a snooze at the poolside with everyone else.
