Dog friendly accommodation Devon dartmoor

Find yourself a dog friendly bed and breakfast here on Dartmoor in Devon. Some landladies are happy for you to bring your dog in, and some are happy for you to bring the dog IF it will stay in your vehicle overnight. Our own dog
Topsy, above left, has always been happy sleeping in the back of our estate car, but I do like to be able to
see the car from our bedroom window. If you are booking a Bed and Breakfast stay, make sure that the owner
knows you will be bringing your pet with you, and discuss the needs of the dog before you come, so that there
are no awkward moments when you arrive. Bring your dog's own dog bed and make sure that you pop some
clean bedding in your luggage. If you think that your
dog might have a problem settling in a strange room,
then a good idea is to bring an item of clothing out of
your dirty washing basket at home, a woollen jumper
say, so that your reassuring smell will help keep your
dog calm. It pays to keep to the same routine that you
have at home. If you take the dog out last thing before
you turn in at home, then do so on holiday too.
Look out for the green writing on our holiday
listings to know that your dog is welcome. B/A =
by arrangement, so you can only bring your dog if you have discussed it with the accommodation provider.
There might for instance be a dog in season at the
house already, and that could be tricky !
A red cross x means that your beloved pet is not welcome.

Jill says - When I asked Penny if she will take dogs she said "I'm not strict at all but we don’t take dogs in the bedrooms
because that can put non dog lovers off! We have three dogs, which also causes havoc if someone brings their dog in the house.
We have a large drive for car parking, and if guests leave their dogs in their car overnight, they can see the car from their
bedroom window. There is plenty of safe outdoor space for dogs to run in". So, sounds perfect to me !!

Have you thought about using a day kennel whilst you are here on holiday ?
Occasionally we need to spend time without Topsy, like recently when we had a hospital visit to make and we
didn't know how long we would be waiting. No-one wants to excercise a dog in hospital grounds, so at times like
this, we occasionally book her into one of the local kennels for the day. Pam who runs Northlake Boarding Kennels
at Okehampton. Topsy - on the clapper bridge above, loves going to frolick with all the other dogs at Pam's.
Why not let your dog stay with Pam for the week and you take him/her out just a couple of times ? That way
can see that your dog is happy and have a few days at places where dogs are not welcome such as the beach or
National Trust properties, without having to worry that the car is in the shade. Brill !!
