With increasing interest in pet-welcome getaways and unique local experiences, Cottages2Love is emphasising its offerings of dog friendly cottages in Cotswolds and holiday cottages in Stamford as key collections for travellers seeking comfort, authenticity, and rural charm.

Rising Demand for Pet-Friendly Holidays 

Recent market research confirms growing interest in pet-friendly accommodation in the UK:

• A report from Sykes Holiday Cottages shows that around one in three bookings now include pets. (Sykes Cottages)
  
• In a survey of nearly 3,900 dog owners, 61% said they prefer a traditional holiday cottage over other types of pet-welcoming accommodations. (Canine Cottages)
  
• Features highly valued by these travellers include enclosed gardens, proximity to walking trails, and pet-friendly pubs or attractions. (Canine Cottages)

These trends suggest that travellers are placing greater importance on both the character of their stay and the comfort and safety of their pets.

What Makes Cottages2Love’s Key Collections Stand Out

Cottages2Love is structuring its offerings to meet these evolving traveller preferences. Key collections include:

• Dog Friendly Cottages in Cotswolds – Stays that allow pets, often situated in scenic countryside settings, with access to rural walks, local dog-friendly amenities, and tranquil surroundings.
  
• Holiday Cottages in Stamford – Period cottages and converted barns in and around Stamford, combining historic architecture, proximity to countryside, and local culture.
  
• Cottages2Love (main website) – The complete portfolio with full property details, availability, and the brand ethos of combining character, comfort, and pet inclusion.

What to Consider When Choosing a Pet-Friendly Holiday Cottage

To help travellers make informed choices, Cottages2Love (and industry guides) recommend paying attention to:

• Outdoor space and garden features: Enclosed gardens or safe outside areas are particularly important for pet owners.
  
• Walking access: Properties located near footpaths, trails, or countryside walks add value for guests who prefer spending time outdoors.
  
• Property layout and flooring: Hard floors or easy-clean materials reduce stress for travellers with pets. Historic cottages may have quirks (e.g. narrow stairs, uneven floors) that are part of their charm but should be understood in advance.
  
• Local services & pet-friendly amenities: Pubs, shops, and veterinary services that welcome animals or provide necessary care add convenience.
  

Market Insights & Regional Appeal

• The Cotswolds remains one of the most popular regions for dog-friendly cottages in England, noted for its rolling landscapes, historic villages, and abundance of walking trails. (Independent Cottages)
  
• Stamford, known for its well-preserved Georgian architecture, boutique shops, and riverside walks, has become increasingly popular for holiday rentals where visitors seek both charm and accessibility. (Simply Owners)
  
• According to industry data, pet-friendly accommodations tend to sustain higher occupancy outside peak summer seasons, as travellers with pets often take mid-week or off-peak breaks. (Independent Cottages)
