SELF CATERING HOLIDAYS IN YORKSHIRE, NORTHERN ENGLAND
Roast Sunday lunches with Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings is on the menu of many Yorkshire pubs and is the kind of hearty meal that warms the stomach. Real ale is readily available and the hearty good food and drink help sum up what Yorkshire is all about. Yorkshire people were always known for their plain speaking and directness and perhaps due to the farms scattered across the dales and moors people had to be blunt and precise to have time to say everything they wanted to say to neighbours when meeting. There are still acres of countryside with remote farmhouses and cottages, many of which are now let as holiday cottages on a self-catering basis.
Self-catering accommodation is a boon for dog owners. All that you rent is the accommodation itself which is comfortably equipped for a holiday; beds made up, spotlessly clean and welcoming. Bring your own food and drink and use the fully operational kitchen to prepare meals for yourselves and your dog. Breakfast is simple for most holidaymakers, even a traditional British fry up is no trouble when you have lots of time on holiday. Good quality self-catering accommodation should have a dishwasher for easy cleaning up.
You could of course visit the local pub and enjoy a Yorkshire cooked meal and real ale. These are the pleasures of staying in rented cottages on holiday in Yorkshire. Cottages where dogs are welcome should have dog bowls and various dog accessories to make your pet feel at home. A cottage with a fully enclosed garden makes it easy to let the dog out. A few holiday cottages offer a dog babysitting service or kennels so that you can have a night out somewhere other than the pub should you feel like it.
Pet-friendly holiday cottages, pine lodges and apartments in Yorkshire
Rent a pet-friendly cottage as near to the part of Yorkshire that you plan to visit to save on travel. There are dog friendly cottages to rent all over the Yorkshire Dales, Yorkshire Moors and on the coast. Self-catering pet friendly apartments are available in the cities.
Another very nice form of pet friendly self-catering accommodation is a pine lodge or log cabin. Made of timber, with wooden flooring and walls, pine lodges are warm under paws and muddy paw prints are easily cleaned. Do take a look at pet-friendly pine lodges to rent for breaks in Yorkshire.
It is good manners to tidy up after your holiday and leave your holiday accommodation as neat as you found it. The accommodation is serviced and thoroughly cleaned between lettings to ensure a good stay for all holidaymakers with dogs.
It pays to discuss your pet requirements before booking. Some cottage owners allow only 1 dog, others may allow up to 4 dogs depending on the breed of dog, so do get in touch.
