Hi all you globetrotters on CD :D
I am looking for info on a cottage to rent for next year (dog friendly of course) and preferably in either Shropshire, Derbyshire or Lake District areas . Although anywhere similair will be acceptable -In the countryside but not too far from civilisation altogether ;)  .
I Have seen a couple of really nice cottages on the net but would prefer to go on recommendations.
My holidays abroad seem a distant memory now due to a little chap called Gus :D

Hi me too :D although I would like a dog friendly pub within walking distance :p :p

Hi Lel, Gina.
Ask away!!  I go on my hols to the Lake District and North Wales and always rent a house or cottage, and always take my 3 Border Terriers with me. 

Look at http://www.lakelovers.co.uk and http://www.cumbriancottages.co.uk these are two of the ones we use.  I could give you the properties we stayed in too, but it depends on how many people/beds etc...  The prices we have paid range from £320-£790 per week.  I always go out of season because of work, less people etc...

We stayed in a great dog friendly place earlier this year, brilliant for dogs and the owners were dog lovers, we had a 10 acre wood, fully fenced (full of Pheasants) to ourselves.  The last one we stayed in was a bungalow, very nice, and you can SEE the renowned "Tower Bank Arms"  (in Beatrix Potter) from the window!!!!

Anyhow, hope this helps.

I live in the Lake District in a small village .......lovely pub.......no shop.There is a very popular holiday cottage to rent very dog friendly. We are 7 miles from Cockermouth and 12 miles from Keswick.Will try and find the website if you are interested.

Come on all you people - come to Scotland!!  You'll love it and so will the dogs.  I use Mackays Agency to book cottages and they are very professional in my experience and I've always had a great time.  Have a look anyway www.mackays-scotland.co.uk.

Hi CG
I have heard nothing but good things about Scotland but its just too far to travel to for us
Lel

I'd love to go to Scotland, but as Lel says, it is a great distance.  When I get my plane, I'll pop up there all the time!!!!
