Many country cottage properties welcome pets for a small additional charge per pet per week or short break, and you might do well to take your dog or cat rather than spend money on a kennel where your dogs might be unhappy, and your cats left feeling you don't love them. A Welsh borders cottage is likely to be built from sturdy grey local stone, while a traditional holiday cottage in Scotland will be in a town or village, or maybe in the heart of the countryside, with magnificent views of mountains, valleys and lochs. Keep young children off balconies and if there is a garden pond, ensure that children cannot access it. Look out for any steep drops in the garden and if there are garden sheds or outbuildings, ensure that children cannot get in them. Cottages should cleaned between lets and this means you only need to unpack when you arrive, put the kettle on and have a refreshing cup of tea, and explore your cottage and the surrounding countryside. There may be no extra charge for cleaning services, but often you will be expected to pay a notional amount.

Many cottages have gardens where you can enjoy peace and privacy and do some well earned sun bathing as long as you use sun tan lotion to protect your skin. Fortnight bookings are still available in many months, with Summer the most sought after, followed by Autumn, Spring and then Winter. When you arrive you will need a lot of guides to the local area and get your key which is probably hidden skilfully under the door mat, on the sill or under a flower pot. In particular. Check the layout and property so that in an emergency you can get out quickly and easily. Check for a fire extinguisher and fire blanket, and read the instructions on their use.
If you are taking a guide or service dog this needs to be noted on the booking form so that there are no problems when you arrive. Please keep your pets off the furniture, exercise your pets outside the garden, remove pet hairs from carpets before you leave and don't leave your pets unattended in the cottage.

You must vacate the property on time on the last day, and most property owners provide linen at no extra charge while some prefer to hire out their linen by the week. Linen must be requested at the time of booking and it is rare to find that cot linen is provided.
Do you want to go in the Autumn, Summer, Winter or Spring? Remember that a summer holiday in the UK will be hot and sunny especially in June, July, August, or September. Some properties have internal stairs so if you really need a bungalow to take your holiday that has no steps and have at least one bedroom and one bathroom on the ground floor. Some properties participate in the Tourist Board National Accessible scheme which is great news for visitors with all forms of disability. If you are taking your car, motor home, cycles or MPV you need to make sure that parking arrangements are satisfactory. Maybe you need off street parking, and it is normal in the country side to find that off road parking is standard.

You should also not take breakable glasses or other utensils into the pool area. Do not swim at night or when the pool is closed. Always supervise children.

You should exercise your pets outside the garden, maybe in a local park, by the seaside, or in rolling hills and fields.
