Why Pack Holidays is a Dog’s Dream Holiday!

Greetings, fellow dog lovers! If you don’t know Pack Holidays (yet 🙂 ) let me paint you a picture of poochy paradise – a place where your dogs are not just tolerated, but celebrated. A realm where dogs are treated like royalty and their every whim is catered to. Welcome to the world of Pack Holidays, where tails wag with unbridled joy and paws prance with glee.

As a proud dog parent myself, I’ve experienced first-hand the challenges of finding truly pet-friendly accommodations. From the doggy rules that suddenly appear on arrival at a cottage “no pets allowed” in the locality, it can be a minefield out there. But with Pack Holidays, those worries vanish like a treat in a hungry pup’s mouth.
So, grab your leads, pack your raw dog supplies, and prepare for an adventure that will have your dogs howling with delight. Let me guide you through the pawsitively perfect world of Pack Holidays, where every detail is crafted with your four-legged family members in mind.

Secure and Safe Garden: A Haven for Dogs to Play

One of the most delightful aspects of Pack Holidays is the fact we are open and transparent regarding garden security and safety.  Each cottage garden has a specific section detailing fence height / security and location.  Add to that the Reactive Friendly Ratings, to give you extra peace of mind that you are choosing the right cottage for your dogs needs.

No more worrying about them darting off after a squirrel or getting lost in unfamiliar surroundings.
You can lounge in a gorgeous garden, sipping a refreshing beverage while your pack does as many zoomies as they want in a garden secure for their needs

If your dogs have issues with pebbles / stones or patio areas, the garden descriptions for each cottage tell you clearly what kind of garden it is, and what kind of reactive ‘triggers’ there might be (such as bird scarers / livestock around).  And if you have any specific questions, call me 🙂

No Charge for Dogs: Making Pet-Friendly Holidays Affordable

Let’s be honest, traveling with dogs can sometimes be a financial burden. From pet fees to additional charges, the costs can quickly add up, leaving us feeling like we’re being punished for wanting to include our beloved pups in our adventures.
But here at Pack Holidays, we understand that our dogs are part of the family, and we wouldn’t dream of taking a penny for their presence. That’s why we charge absolutely nothing extra for your canine companions.

No Doggy Rules: Embracing Freedom and Flexibility

Ah, rules – the bane of every dog owner’s existence. Don’t sit on the couch, don’t bark after 9 PM, don’t even think about shedding on the carpet! It’s enough to make even the most well-behaved pup feel like a misbehaving rascal.
But at Pack Holidays, we absolutely understand that dogs will be dogs, and they wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s why they’ve thrown out the rulebook and embraced a philosophy of freedom and flexibility.
Your pups are welcome to lounge on the sofas, chase each other through the hallways, and bark their adorable little heads off (within reason, of course). This is their holiday too, and Pack Holidays believes in letting them be their authentic, tail-wagging selves.

Have you ever experienced the heartbreak of having to leave your furry companion behind while you explore the sights or dine out? It’s a scenario that tugs at the heartstrings of every dog lover, and one that Pack Holidays has eliminated entirely.
Dogs are welcomed in every nook and cranny of the house. That’s right, your pups can join you for cozy movie nights, accompany you to the kitchen while you whip up a tasty meal, and even snuggle up with you in the bedroom – If you want your dogs on the beds, you can bring your own linen
No more separating the family or feeling guilty for leaving your beloved companions behind. At Pack Holidays, your dogs are part of the experience, and they’ll never have to miss out on the fun.

Honesty!  Providing the Best Experience for Dogs and Their Owners

Lets not forget the hooomans eh?  Do you need a big freezer for raw dog food?  Is it mandatory to have a washing machine / dryer / dishwasher?  Do you need a hot tub?  No problem – I have all choices covered.  Each cottage is of course different but with a range of cottages to choose from, we have you covered too!

Cover for Furniture: Ensuring a Clean and Comfortable Stay

As much as we love our furry friends, let’s be honest – they can sometimes leave behind a little more than just paw prints. From shedding to the occasional accident, it’s all part of the package when it comes to living with dogs.
But at Pack Holidays, we have taken proactive measures to ensure that your stay is as clean and comfortable as possible, without sacrificing the pet-inclusive experience. Sofa throws are there for you and your dogs to give you peace of mind they can cuddle up without any fuss

Quiet Locations: Finding Serenity and Tranquility for Your Dog’s Holiday

While some dogs thrive on social interaction, others prefer a more serene and tranquil setting with little going on.  Noise. movement or other dog reactivity is a common occurence.   We have this covered with a carefully curated a selection of accommodations in quiet, peaceful locations, perfect for dogs who appreciate a little peace and quiet.
Whether you’re seeking a rural retreat or a tucked-away haven in a charming village, Pack Holidays has you covered. Our commitment to providing serene environments ensures that your dog’s holiday is as relaxing and rejuvenating as it is enjoyable.

No Doggy Hair or Smell on Arrival: Maintaining a Fresh and Odour-Free Accommodation

One of the most common complaints from pet owners when it comes to accommodations is the lingering odour or presence of pet hair from previous guests. It’s a scenario that can instantly dampen the mood and make you question the cleanliness of your surroundings.
But at Pack Holidays, we have taken this concern to heart and have rigorous cleaning protocols to ensure that every accommodation is fresh, odour-free, and free of any lingering pet hair or dander.
Our lovely and wonderful team are 100% dedicated to you and your experience.

Multiple Dogs: Welcoming Families of Fur 🙂

For many dog owners, our furry companions are more than just pets – they’re members of the family. And just like human families, sometimes that family includes multiple four-legged members.
At Pack Holidays, we understand and embrace this concept wholeheartedly. Whether you have two dogs, three dogs, or even a whole pack of pups, they’ll welcome your furry family with open arms (and plenty of treats, of course).
No more having to leave a beloved family member behind or juggle complicated arrangements. Each cottage has a limit (clearly explained on each cottage page and you can also search for total dog numbers) with some cottages welcoming UNLIMITED dogs (and of course always free of charge!)

Paddocks

Yes we have some cottages with access to paddocks.  Little Bent has a free paddock on site with 6 feet secure fencing.  East and West Cottage have a field (4 feet high) from September, Garden House is currently putting plans in for 2025 to have a paddock and Ollands Farm Barn has a paddock (not secure) for use

All on One Level: Convenience and Ease for Dogs with Mobility Challenges

For dogs with mobility challenges, navigating multiple levels or staircases can be a daunting task. But here at Pack Holidays, we’ve taken this concern off the table by offering accommodations that are all on one level.
No more struggling to carry your furry friend up and down stairs or worrying about them navigating tricky landings. With everything conveniently located on a single floor, your pup can move about freely and comfortably, without any unnecessary strain or stress.
Cosy Corner, Saretta, Garden House, Poets Corner, The Dairy, Neaps, The Milk Parlour, Nautilus, Greenwood Barn are all on one level with some other cottages with bedrooms on the ground floor too

Slippery Floors: Creating a Safe Environment with Textured Rugs and Mats

While hardwood floors and tile may be aesthetically pleasing, they can pose a slipping hazard for our four-legged friends. At Pack Holidays, we understand this concern and we have cottages that have taken proactive measures to ensure a safe and secure environment for your pups.
For example, Snowdrop Cottage has a range of floor mats and HaPenny Cottage has textured flooring to make it nice and easy
No more worrying about your pup sliding across the floor or injuring themselves on slick surfaces. Pack Holidays has got you covered, ensuring that your dog’s vacation is as safe and enjoyable as it is comfortable.

Advice on Remote Cottages: Tips for Exploring Remote Locations with Your Dog

For some dog owners, the ultimate dream is to escape to a remote cottage, surrounded by nature and far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But venturing into more secluded areas with your furry companion can come with its own set of challenges.
That’s why we at Pack Holidays offers expert advice and tips for exploring remote cottages with your dog. From ensuring you have the necessary supplies and equipment to navigating unfamiliar terrain and potential wildlife encounters, we will help you every step of the way.
