Country Escapes

Country Escapes

As someone truly passionate about the countryside and culture, I am always looking for an excuse to get out and find a rural escape.

01. Paws&Stay

Finding the perfect pet-friendly destination can be tricky, but Paws&Stay is dedicated to helping pet owners find the best pet-friendly holidays, so you can enjoy while your pet enjoys a break of their own. Every single rental, whether it is a cozy cottage, a hotel, or a campsite, is guaranteed to be pet friendly. The website also has a user-driven review system, which is great to get non-biased feedback from other doggy parents.

What I liked most about the interface is that it shows:

  • Number of pets allowed
  • Size restrictions
  • Special amenities (if any)
  • Nearby walking trails
  • Pet-friendly cafes
  • Parks

02. Forest Holidays

Forest Holidays offers the perfect blend of nature and comfort for you and your furry friends. With cabins that welcome up to four pets, including dogs and even cats, you can enjoy a relaxing getaway. All cabins come with enclosed outdoor decking, so your pets can roam safely while you unwind in a hot tub. Explore scenic trails, dog-friendly pubs, and breathtaking locations like Snowdonia and the Forest of Dean.

You can compare all of the locations and it’ll provide the highlights of each and there’s also the offers tab which includes last minute breaks.

03. Pets Pyjamas

They have a pet concierge that can help find the perfect holiday if you’re looking for something specific. Their search bar also allows you to search by region which is great if you’re not picky, just looking for the best option for your dog! They provide a list of the most popular destinations along with testimonials and have plenty advice on where to go in their collection of over 18,000 properties.

Their experiences include country retreats, cosy cottages, luxury spas, and ultimate luxury getaways.

I think I pinned nearly every tab I opened on their website…
