What to pack...
Please don't use things from your holiday cottage! Please bring with you:• Bedding
• Food and drink bowls
• Towels
• Brush
Fort KnoxIf a property is described as having an enclosed garden, it is not necessarily pet-proof (nor, for that matter, child-proof!).
WalkiesAs pet owners ourselves we know the pleasure of walking the coastal path
or running on the beach with our dog. An evening stroll along the lane
or round the town is also a relaxing end to the day.Click the beach guide map to view a list and map of dog friendly beaches in Cornwall. Before deciding to bring your pet in the summer you should bear in mind that they are not permitted on many beaches at this time. For further info please contact the local Tourist Information Centre. See the visitor
guide for dog owners for advice on bringing your dog on holiday to Cornwall.
Sand and mudMost dogs love mud and sand but not as much as mud and sand love your dog!If your dog shakes on command (you lucky people!) then getting them to do this before you get back to your cottage is a great idea. If not, perhaps give them a quick towel down or groom instead (again, before you get back to your cottage!).
Home aloneYour dog may be fine on its own at home but in a strange house they can get a bit distressed. So do not leave them in the cottage on their own in case of damage or barking. Remember, you can use your privilege card to get discounts on pet sitting services!Also, cleaning hair and dirt off floors and carpets is a lot easier than cleaning it off furniture and beds. So please do not allow pets on furniture or in bedrooms.
After your stayBefore you leave please make sure you check the garden and outside spaces for poop.It's not the cleaner's job to clear the garden so please make sure you check before you leave - the people holidaying after you will appreciate it!
General infoUsually the maximum number of pets allowed is two but in some properties it is restricted to one.Please let us know if you have more than 2 dogs and we will gladly contact the owner of the cottage you are interested in to see if bringing more than 2 dogs is possible. Of course, most properties will accept an assistance dog although regrettably this is not possible in all. Don't forget to include them on the booking form!
Cottages that do not take petsFinally, if you are looking for a property which does not accept pets, perhaps for health reasons, please don't assume that there has never been a pet at a particular property.If this is important to you, please check with us first so that we can make enquiries on your behalf.
