Pets welcome christmas cottages for self-catering holidays

Looking to book a pet-friendly Christmas cottage for a break in the UK? Country Cottages Online features one of the best selections of pet welcoming holiday houses in the UK. The following dog-friendly cottages are currently available for Christmas bookings. Get away this festive Xmas season with your family including your four-legged friend!

Why Book a Pet Welcoming Cottage for a Break Over Christmas?

Getting away over Christmas can help to make the festive season even more special. Just imagine cosying up by the fire on winter nights in a cosy holiday home, and enjoying visits to dog-friendly pubs and restaurants with your pooch, on sunny winter days.

Or maybe you are looking to get away with your feline friend? If so, see our selection of cat-friendly Xmas cottages.

There are some great places to discover in the UK, from quaint villages to charming towns. And let’s not forget Britain’s unspoilt countryside and its scenic coast with many dog-friendly beaches. Doggies are very much part of the family, and Christmas is all about spending time with our nearest and dearest so any festive holiday would not be complete without man’s best friend in tow.

What’s more, many self-catering cottages and houses are decorated for Christmas, typically with a festive tree, tinsel and Xmas decorations to help you celebrate this special time of year. Bring your own crackers, Xmas presents to put under the tree, doggy treats and plenty of festive cheer! Please check these and related details prior to booking.

The Best Pet-Friendly Christmas Breaks

What makes for the best dog friendly Christmas break will depend on your needs as a pet owner. Perhaps you want to escape to the countryside with easy access to good doggy walks nearby in dog-friendly parks and trails, or maybe you prefer to holiday by the coast. Wherever in the UK you want to holiday, booking early for a Christmas break is advised, particularly if you want to stay in one of Britain’s best loved areas like the Lake District, Norfolk, Yorkshire, Wales or Scotland. Compared to dog friendly christmas hotel breaks, renting a holiday home can offer more privacy and often work out cheaper.

Popular Choices for Dog-Friendly Xmas Breaks

Dogs-welcome holiday properties are popular at any time of year and particularly so over the festive season. Pet-friendly Christmas lodges are a particularly popular choice, as are holiday homes with outdoor space such as enclosed gardens where your hound can enjoy being off leash. Holiday homes with entertainment options like dog-friendly rentals with games rooms can be particularly popular too.

Whether you have in mind a luxury pooch-friendly cabin or a budget dogs-welcome country cottage, Country Cottages Online features a great selection of cottages for Xmas breaks which allow dogs, where man’s best friend will be as welcome as you. For plenty of festive cheer, look out for properties for your pet friendly Christmas break with good doggy friendly walks and pet-friendly pubs nearby. All are booked directly with owners or agencies for best prices. Wishing you a happy Christmas and plenty of festive cheer in your selected dog-friendly holiday cottage.
