Hi Simon
My friend's friend has a cottage in Normandy that looks very nice.
Not sure if they allow dogs or not, but when I mentioned it to Catherine, she said that her friends are big animal lovers and have dogs of their own, so if anyone would allow them, they would! Its worth asking I think.
The link to their website is:
www.leniddhibou.com
It can sleep up to 7 and has an enclosed garden.
Let me know how you get on. We would like to venture further afield to either France or Spain with our two, but it would have to be next year now, as I would need to organise their pet passports.
