Pets welcome cottage breaks for people with disabilities

Sometimes it can be a challenge to locate an ideal holiday cottage for a disabled person who would like to take their dog with them. UK laws ensure that any blind people can always book a cottage accompanied by their guide dog but this does not apply to people with different disabilities.

Fortunately, there are cottage owners for cater almost exclusively for guests with disabilities and are experienced in helping out where necessary and are on hand to deal with problems.

As is the norm anywhere else, there are always rules regarding where dogs are permitted in holiday cottages and clearing up after dogs. Dog hair in bedding is to be avoided at all costs, therefore dogs are not allowed in bedrooms. Holidaymakers are expected to clear up after their dogs and to be considerate to any other guests in nearby holiday homes.

By the same token, people should try to ensure that their pets are socialized and not aggressive to other guests staying nearby. A dog that barks loudly, damages the furnishings or scares other holidaymakers children will soon make itself and its owner most unpopular. That is why most cottage advertisements state ‘well behaved dogs by arrangement’.

You may want to enjoy a welcome summer break with your dogs, but consideration for others has to be key unless you wish to rent a secluded cottage in a remote area away from other people. These pet-friendly secluded cottages with facilities for disabled people also exist.
