    someone has asked me if i might find a cottage or similar for two people and 4 wolfhounds to go straight out onto woods forest beach anything where they dont have to drive to let the dogs run free and not lots of farm animals live in sussex so would like to be no more then 3hours to get there

    I don't think it's so much about type of dog...it's just I honestly can't think of any holiday places that are so isolated as to let dogs run free right out of the cottage door. Within a 3 hour drive of Sussex...it's quite a crowded place, England, so seems a tall order. Maybe try national trust holiday cottages in Scotland if they are willing to travel further?

    How about somewhere in the New Forest ? I am in Sussex too, that was the nearest place that came to mind. On the site pets pyjamas, there is a special holiday section, that might have something also. Maggie x

    Probably a bit far (Pembrokeshire) but did you see my Little Dumpdale Farm thread.
    They seem to love dogs there. They have a whole pack themselves.

    Hoseasons are a good source of doggy friendly cottages.

    We have just booked this one for a week in May - on Lindisfarne by the beach :)

    Look forward to hearing about the holiday and how good Lindisfarne is for dogs

    I have heard that Northumberland generally is really dog friendly ;D

    I'm just hoping Gypsy is still with us, as I've been told she may go to Big School early ??? I'd love her to have a beachy holiday before she leaves.

    Had a couple of holidays in Northumberland as a kid (a few years ago then....) but without a dog. I do remember getting burnt in the sand dunes and large wide sandy beaches so hop it's the same now as it was then.
    Fingers crossed that Gypsy is still with you for a wonderful holiday before big school starts.
