Dog Friendly holiday.....

[Crackedhalo]

Hi, Just wondering if any one can recommend a dog friendly place to stay. I have trawled all the websites but can't find anything suitable! We have five dogs, looking for somewhere in Devon/Cornwall area. I have found Helsbury park which looks amazing but way out of our budget!!

We go to a lovely place in Whitby for a few days a year but looking for a longer holiday down south!

Thanks in advance

Try welcome cottages. They have lots that are dog friendly

Thank you Brownmare, but they only accept three dogs. :-(

Try Falmouth. Spent a weekend down there with my partner & our 2 pooches. Everywhere is welcoming of dogs including shops & pubs & there are lots of guest places that will accommodate too.

I have found that asking the owners of cottages which will take three dogs whether they would allow you to bring another one or two will often work. I have also contacted the agencies directly to ask them to find me something. Have a look at 'petholidayfinder' too. As you have found out the places which officially accept lots of dogs are large and very expensive most of the time unfortunately. Best of luck.

I can recommend a place called bed and basket (google it) wonderful self catered converted barns designed with dog owners in mind. We spent a week there and it along with the walks in surrounding areas was just absolutely fantastic!

We've also stayed at sunridge lodge which again was lovely but not sure you could take 5 dogs - we had 3

If you fancy trying Norfolk instead ( great dog friendly beaches) then ERC have many cottages that take unlimited dogs:

I have been to several of their properties

Little Dumpledale in Pembrokeshire. http://www.littledumpledale.co.uk/ Totally dog friendly but not quite in the same league as Helsbury where I have been going for ten years plus. Gobsmacked that they have now handed the booking over to a holiday company; David & Leza always used to advertise a £200 discount for single bedroom occupancy, but when I rang to make a booking this weekend the new company didn't know anything about this or maybe just played dumb.

Thanks guys, I have had a quick look at them and they all look fab! Excited for 2016 holidays now!!!

Polperro in Cornwall is incredibly dog friendly - all the pubs let them in and make a fuss of them (one has an antique 'dog chair'), and some of the restaurants too. Holiday Cottages Polperro have quite a few dog friendly cottages. Great walks along the coastal paths, and boat trips (dog friendly) from the harbour too.
