Fabulously up-market pine lodges that embrace four legged pets with their master.

A self-catering holiday in one of these high class pine lodges is a treat to be savoured. Under-floor heating is all the rage; a gentle pervasive heat from the floor upwards. It is a great temptation to join your dog in walking barefoot around this type of holiday home to enjoy the warmth on your toes.

Naturally, the décor has been thought out with furry friends in mind. There is nothing nicer than a comfy bed beside a source of heat on cool days or a soft dog safe chair on the decking to make the most of cooling breezes on hot days in the summer. Pine lodges usually have a wrap-around veranda that offers a shaded place to sit and enjoy the views. The best most lavish log cabin holidays will have good quality drinking bowls, heavy and shiny that a posh dog deserves. There is nothing tawdry and cheap in the holiday accommodation, everything is of the very best quality if not designer. One expects superior when paying higher rental rates.

Style and interior design comes at a price and is necessary to create a log cabin living space that is beneficial for a man and his dog. Both expect their refinement to be catered for. Posh people and their dogs demand high standards throughout a self-catering pine lodge, in the living rooms, kitchen and bathroom. There is nothing worse than a disgruntled guest and his dog and why subject the pet to feel his owner’s annoyance? This is why people who can afford to, choose pet-friendly luxurious log cabin holidays because they know that their high expectations will be met.
