Looking for dog friendly and pet friendly Cornwall holiday Cottages? Cornwall is excellent for dog friendly self catering holiday cottage availability. If you're taking your pet - is this agreeable with the owner and is the layout of the cottage suitable for dogs? Cottages situated on working farms are often unsuitable for pets. Many Cornwall holiday cottages welcome pets (it tends to be smokers that are not welcome!) and Cornwall really is the favourite UK holiday county for 'you and your pet' holidays! Cottages which state no children or pets simply mean they are not suitably equipped for either.

Some cottages emphasise they do not cater for children under a certain age. How many people will be staying in the cottage, and is ample space available for those numbers? Is smoking allowed? Do you require a tv & video? Or a four poster bed for romantic breaks? If eating in will you need a microwave? Check fuel facilities and whether this is inclusive in the price.
