http://www.rspca.org.uk/getinvolved/supportus/cottages4you We’ve teamed up with cottages4you to bring you a fantastic selection of pet-friendly cottages.

1. All About
Cottage Holidays

2. Make a donation for
every holiday booked
through the
RSPCA/Cottage4you site!
We have joined forces with cottages4you to bring
you over 13,000 self-catering holiday cottages,
villas and gites in the UK and overseas. Whether
you're looking for a cosy romantic retreat, a fun-
filled family getaway, or somewhere large, lavish
and filled with luxury, you'll find a great selection
of properties to suit everyone.

3. Arriving & departing
Except for short breaks, all
bookings run weekly from
Saturday to Saturday, unless
otherwise stated. When you have
paid for your holiday in full, you
will be sent details of how to
find your property and where to
collect the keys on arrival.
On your departure day, you are
required to leave your property
by 10am. This is to allow the
owner or caretaker sufficient
time to prepare the holiday
cottage for the next arrivals.

4. Passports
If you are planning to travel to
a destination outside the UK,
please ensure you familiarise
yourself with the relevant
passport and visa requirements
for your destination. It is your
responsibility to ensure that all
members of your party,
including any children, have a
valid passport and visa (where
appropriate).

5. Pets
Many properties featured on our
website or in our brochure welcome
pets.
Take any other kind of holiday and it
can cost you a small fortune paying
others to look after your pets while
you’re away. And, after all, why
should you have to leave them
behind when they’re part of the
family? Many holiday cottages
welcome pets for a small additional
charge of just £20 per pet, per
week or per short break. Look out
for the pets welcome symbol, or use
the online search facility at our
website.

6. Pets
If you are taking your pet on
holiday, you must respect these
few simple, common sense
requests:
• Please keep your pets off the
furniture.
• Please exercise your pets
outside the garden.
• Please remove pet hairs from
carpets before you leave.
• Please don’t leave your pets
unattended in the property or
garden.
• Please do not allow pets
upstairs or in the bedrooms.

7. Pets
Where pets are not permitted at a property, this is clearly
stated in the property description.
However, registered guide and support dogs belonging to
those with visual and hearing impairments are allowed in
all pet friendly holiday cottages featured on our website or
in our brochure even where the property description states
that pets are not allowed.

8. Pets
Customers with allergies should
be aware that we cannot
guarantee that a registered
guide and/or support dog has not
stayed in their chosen dog
friendly holiday cottage, nor can
we accept liability for any
suffering which may occur as a
result of such animals having
been present.

9. Pets
If you are travelling to a
destination outside the UK, it is
your responsibility to ensure
that, if you want to take your
pet with you, you familiarize
yourself with the relevant
information about Pet Passports,
etc, and that you make all the
necessary arrangements through
your vet well before departure.

10. Gardens & parking facilities
Many dog friendly cottages
have gardens where you can
enjoy peace and privacy. Most
properties also offer space for
off-road parking; details are
stated in the property
description. If you require an
enclosed garden suitable for
children and pets, please
check with your holiday
adviser when you book, or use
the search facility on our
website. You must not leave
children or pets unsupervised
in the garden.

11. Cleaning
All pet friendly properties are
cleaned between lets so all you
have to do when you get there
is unpack and put the kettle on.
In the UK and Ireland there is
no extra charge for
cleaning, unless extra, heavy
cleaning is required after you
leave, or you do not leave the
property and its contents as you
found them. In other countries
a cleaning charge may apply.

12. Sleeping Arrangements, Bed linen & towels
Property descriptions show the
“ideal” number that a property
will sleep, based on a maximum of
one or two people in a room. If a
property also shows a higher
capacity (shown by “4+2” or “4-
6”), this means extra people can
be accommodated in additional
sleeping arrangements (for
example extra beds in a bedroom
or sofa beds). Under no
circumstances may more than the
maximum number of persons
indicated occupy a property.

13. Sleeping Arrangements, Bed linen & towels
Most dog friendly holiday property owners provide linen at no
extra charge, and this is stated in the brochure description.
If linen is supplied at the property, this does not include cot
linen - you should bring linen for cots in all cases (including
pillows and blankets or duvets).

14. Sleeping Arrangements, Bed linen & towels
Some property owners prefer to
hire their bed linen and/or towels.
Bed linen can be hired at £4 per
person per week.
Towels can be hired at £2 per
person per week. If bed linen and
towels are hired together then a
charge of £4 per person per week
will apply.
If you want to hire bed linen or
towels, you must remember to
request this at the time of
booking.

15. Televisions and other facilities
All properties (unless otherwise stated) have a cooker and a
fridge.
All properties (unless otherwise stated) have at least one
television that receives terrestrial channels, and therefore
channels local to the relevant destination. Additional
channels may be available where satellite, freeview or cable
television is listed in the property description.

16. Properties with character
If you choose to holiday in an
older pet friendly cottage,
remember that much of its
character and charm is due to its
age. Many of the properties
featured are over 100 years old
and were built before the days of
damp-proof courses and cavity
insulation.
Also, please remember that should
traditional cottage features (steep
stairs or low beams, for example)
be a problem for any member of
your party, you must mention this
when you call to book.
