Bring your dog with you for a country house break. Country houses are suited to dogs and there is plenty of recreational area for walks.
Everyone prefers to rent self-catering accommodation with a swimming pool rather than without. Some of today's group accommodation offers superb recreational facilities.
A large house surrounded by land offers you privacy for yourself-catering stay - great for events and celebrations. Lots of people rent large country houses for party weekends - fun if you can afford it.
