A UK staycation in a dog-friendly holiday home is perfect for dog owners because it’s so easy for the whole family to enjoy quality time together – including the pooch!
Happily, a UK holiday can also be really eco-friendly as well, as you’ve already got off to a great start by eliminating air travel, which is a huge step towards a more environmentally friendly holiday!
We have a few more eco-holiday tips to help you get the most from your dog-friendly holiday, whilst also being kind to the planet!
How well do you know your neighbouring counties? There may be no need to drive for hours to reach your next holiday destination – you might be surprised to find some hidden gems much closer to home! You can cut down on your travel time whilst still feeling like you’ve had a real break away and explored somewhere new.
Why not unplug during your eco-escape and take a break from your screens, gadgets and electronic devices? Enjoy a taste of the ‘good old days’… get back to nature and relax in the great outdoors, play a board game or read a book. Less screen time not only reduces energy consumption, but it could help you relax and unwind. Your mind, body and soul will love you for it, and your family and dog will too!
What better way to get to know the area than by discovering the unique local artisan producers? Whether it’s the locally brewed beer, freshly picked fruit and veg, or artwork inspired by the local landscape. Using local independent shops and eateries not only reduces food miles (great for eco-escapes!) it also supports local businesses and gives you a real taste of the local area. The guest book and welcome pack should be full of recommendations to get you started.
Why not leave the car at home for a day or two? You could hop on a bike, bus or boat, or just see where your feet take you as you explore the local area surrounding your holiday cottage! Check out the visitor book for inspiration.
Many of holiday cottage owners go the extra mile to make it easy for you to be eco-conscious during your stay. From energy-saving light bulbs and appliances, to comprehensive recycling facilities. Check out your welcome pack for full details.
