Pet friendly cottages in Yorkshire
Yorkshire with its moors and dales is one of the best UK locations for a New Year holiday with a dog. The hills and moors are stunning under a hoary frost. Villages are festive, shop windows and indeed many Yorkshire cottages sport sparkling fairy lights.
What every dog would like during New Year is to be with its owners, treated well and taken for walks in new interesting places.
There are endless fascinating beautiful landscapes to explore but the other important aspect to consider it that dogs dislike travelling. It is a rare dog that will snooze happily for many hours driving. This means that people going on holiday with a dog should try to keep their travelling time to a minimum. However, everyone knows their own dog best and how much travel it will tolerate.
The best advice for dog owners who plan to Rent a country cottage or house for New Year is to consider self-catering properties within a radius of fixed hours of travel.
The UK and Ireland have over 23 national parks plus there are numerous Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty with plenty of cottages to rent.
Book a dog friendly self-catering house, country cottage or log cabin within your desired radius and invite your guests. Do double check whether guests also hope to bring their dogs with them and how many dogs are permitted in your chosen holiday home. There is usually a limit although that may be flexible depending on the breed. Or is possible to rent pet-friendly cottages with a dog kennel; that could have its uses at times on holiday when you need to pop out for shopping or a drink down at the pub on New Year's Eve!
