Can someone recommend holiday-let on return to UK (but we have pets !)
We are returning to the UK in September this year and are thinking of renting a holiday home for three months, therefore it will be fully equipped for us whilst all our belongings are sailing home. The idea is to buy a home and hopefully 3 months is enough time to do this (has been in the past !) but our main issue is our pets (3 cats/ 1 large dog).........
What has everybody else done when they return with their pets until they move permanently into their new home ? Kennels ? Husband says noway, dog was in kennels for 3 months until we had it all arranged in Florida for her to come over, consequently we think it was ''bad'' for poochey and she didn't fair well.
We are planning to stay in the south (Dorset/Hampshire/Devon/Wiltshire/Somerset) so can anybody think of a place they may have stayed in for a holiday which may do a long let or even a rental company to get in contact with ! Please pretty please help !

Sometimes houses advertised for rent by agencies are also let out privately too. For a 3 month let it may be worth doing your homework on the internet and seeing if you can contact the owners direct. When we went back for 5 weeks this summer we found one where we could contact them directly and saved a few quid. You can also negotiate better rates the longer you're there. Good luck, we're thinking of moving back to the New Forest area too!
