Help please, very specific holiday requirements

dharm999

I'm looking for some help with finding somewhere in the UK. We have very specific requirements, and I have a very picky wife (so a dishwasher is a must, and no that's not me). We are looking for a self catering cottage that takes 3 small dogs (2 boston terriers and 1 dachshund), has internet access, (ds could not cope without internet access for one day, let alone a week), swimming pool, close to the sea, ideally sea views, not asking for much am I?

I have looked at a number of websites, including the pet friendly holiday sites, but not found anything suitable. Has anyone stayed anywhere that fits the bill, or knows someone that has?

All help/ideas/advice, gratefully received.

Why not invest in mobile internet and increase your chances of ticking the other boxes

I have a mobile broadband dongle but was thinking that the chances of getting a decent reception wasnt very likely. Will bear your suggestion in mind.

Thanks

Would recommend you trying http://www.cottages4you.co.uk
We rented a wonderful cottage through them for a short break to the Dorset coast last October and the standard was 1st class. A lot more basic than your requirements but they catere for all tastes and pockets. We've only got 1 small dog but that wasn't a problem but we did have to pay extra for him.

If you find somewhere that satisfies the other requirements , then agree to share the dishes and tell ds to get a life!

Yes, with www.ruralretreats.co.uk , but I think you would struggle with 3 dogs, most are 2 dogs,however,it sounds like you are looking for a high end rental,so,I would ring them and speak to them they are excellent on tailor making things. We go yearly with them,with ours dogs and they sare excellent!

Have you got an area in mind?

Have you looked at www.premiercottages.co.uk - they might fit your criteria. Or you could browse www.therealvisitorsbook.co.uk to see what previous guests are recommending.
www.cottageguide.co.uk probably has the greatest selection on one site and you deal direct with the owners.
