Holiday homes where your dog is welcome

Owners who accept dogs almost always have one themselves. You notice it in the small things: a hook by the door, an old towel for wet paws, the name of a path where you will meet nobody.

What to look for

• Check whether the garden is really fenced, and how high. A low hedge will not stop a young dog.
• Ask whether your dog may stay in the house alone. Many owners prefer that he does not, and that shapes how you plan your days.
• Bring his own basket or blanket. A familiar smell settles a dog far more quickly in a strange house.
• Agree in advance which rooms are allowed. Rules about bedrooms and sofas differ from one place to the next.
