As the proud owners of two cockapoos, we soon discovered that the increase from one dog to two meant that even greater care needed to be taken when choosing our dog friendly holiday accommodation. Now an important part of our family, Freya and Frankie will always be joining us on our future travels, both in the UK and Europe.
So far – COVID willing – we have five trips planned in 2021 and Freya’s little sister Frankie, will be reporting back on the places we stay. The blogs will be published after each visit with Frankie awarding up to five paws for:
