Canine Comfort: Top cottages with extra features for dogs

Kate Williams 25 November 2024

There’s no better holiday feeling than when you arrive at your cottage and discover it has everything you need for an extra-special break away, so all that’s left for you to do is simply relax. 

At Canine Cottages, we believe dogs should enjoy that holiday feeling too. That’s why we’ve created our Canine Comfort collection, a range of dog-friendly cottages with extra-welcoming touches for our four-legged guests. £20 of every booking with our Canine Comfort properties is being donated to Battersea, who we are proud to partner with, and will be spent wherever the need is greatest to ensure support for every dog and cat. 

Read on and get inspired by these fantastically paw-friendly properties, and lend your support to Battersea by booking one for your holiday - or if you would like to give directly to the charity, follow this link to donate to Battersea. For our Canine Cottages collection, click the button below.
