Dog Friendly Motorhome Hire

It is fair to say that personally I like to take my motorhome holidays with my family – my two daughters and my wife that is.  We don’t have any pets – my three girls are a handful enough – so we don’t need dog friendly motorhome hire ourselves.  However we have many friends who have dogs that go everywhere with them, so we do appreciate the importance of these furry little fellows.  So do we allow dogs in motorhomes? Yes we do, not in all motorhomes, but some are reserved for dog friendly motorhome hire.

If you are bringing your dog with you, please check with your campsite that dogs are allowed. Most campsites welcome pets, particularly abroad. Campsites in France quite often have a complicated tarif where you pay for the camping pitch, the motorhome, each adult, each child and your dog.  I’ve never quite understood why they do this as you take up the same amount of space on the site regardless of how many you are and charging someone an extra euro for bringing their dog isn’t going to make them change their mind about bringing their dog with them!

One of my favourite campsites that allow dogs is the Tyn Rhos Farm Caravan Park in Conwy, Wales. The address is Pentrefoelas, Betws-y-Coed, LL24 0LN (phone: 01690 770655).

The park is located in a peaceful location on a working farm about 7 miles from the popular village of Betws-y-Coed in Snowdonia. Ty’n Rhos is a dairy and sheep farm, and you can view activities on the farm such as milking by arrangement. Pets are welcome, and there is a dog walking area provided.

Tasty bar meals are available in the Giler Arms pub which is within walking distance of the caravan park, or you can just stroll out for an evening drink, my perfect pastime in Wales.

So if you would like to talk to us about dog friendly motorhome hire, call 0800 612 8719 anytime or just arrange your motorhome hire online, mentioning that you would like to bring your dog.

Motorhome Rental

There is nothing like having your own freedom of the open road and having the ability to drive wherever you wish. This is why motorhome rental is more popular than ever. It is often much cheaper to rent a motorhome than going on a foreign package holiday, especially in these gloomy economic times. Lets face it you can go anywhere whenever you choose with a motorhome, you cannot do that in a hotel resort.

There are many benefits with motorhome rental. You can spend good quality time with your family; everyone has enough room to breathe. Motorhomes are not like they were back in the old days; you get luxurious bunk beds, digital television, air conditioning and many more amenities. When you decide to pull up for the night, you can stay in your motorhome and watch your favourite television programmes or just relax outdoors.

We have to be realistic, there are some downsides compared to your standard holiday. Firstly you do not have housekeeping staff to make your bed and lay out your breakfast. You will have plenty of cleaning to do and you may decide to do your own cooking every night. However this is as hard as you make it. If you tidy up as you go along and eat out as you would on a conventional holiday then you will not find it as much of a hardship.

The biggest advantage with this form of holiday though is to experience the freedom to go where you want and at any time you want. By renting a motorhome you are also experiencing the thrill of being in one but not the running costs and bills of actually owning one. They can cost many thousands of pounds new, so if you have never tried one out before it is always best to rent one first to see how you get on and if the experience is suited for you and your family. Call 0800 612 8719 to arrange your motorhome rental.
