Review and giveaway: Alastair Sawday’s Dog-friendly Breaks in Britain

In 1994, Alastair Sawday began publishing guides aimed at travelers seeking “special” travel lodging experiences — meaning, as the Alastair Sawday’s site explains, places with warmth, charm, authenticity, humor and style. The Alastair Sawday’s catalog now includes several dozen guidebooks, and a very useful website, focusing on places to stay in Europe (Britain, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain) and Morocco.… Read the rest

Chloe’s Clicks: Dog travel links that we liked this week

Matching my cheerful mood here on a beautiful, perfect fall day in Paris, all of the dog travel links I have for you this week are fun and inspiring. Consider the following fall getaways for you and your pup:

  • A stroll through Atlanta’s Winn Park, brought to you by Diane and Cosmo of To Dog with Love;
  • A dog-friendly hike in Oregon’s McKenzie River Valley (trail blazed by Pippin the Golden Retriever, and his human Kyla Merwin Cheney, posting on Travel Oregon Blog);
  • Apple-picking (Miss Muddy Paws of The Wet Nose has found that most orchards are dog-friendly, and had fun last year taking her companion Milly apple picking in Northern Virginia);
  • A visit to an outstandingly dog-friendly city — Park City, Utah (report filed by our Take Paws friends, Rod & Amy & Ty & Buster Burkert); and
  • A romp on the beach — check out petswelome.com

Dog-friendly pubs in England, Scotland and Wales

If you’re looking for a dog-friendly pub in England, Scotland or Wales, I have a couple of resources for you. The first site, Doggie Pubs, is no-frills in both presentation and requirements: A pub’s food and drink have to be good, and your well-behaved dog has to be welcome to sit by you while you eat (it’s just not good enough if you can only have a beer with your dog).… Read the rest
