Pawsecco included.

For many pet-owners, holidays always require a little extra planning. Dog-friendly accommodation is not always easy to come by and arranging a pet-sitter comes with its own set of challenges. But what if there was a dog-friendly option that didn't just welcome your pooch, but actively pampered them? As it turns out, Oliver's Travels have made this idea a reality with their latest staycation package. Their "It's a Dog's Life" experience is available at a number of the company's dog-friendly cottages both here in Ireland and in the UK. For starters, the homes come kitted out with a lavish dog bed and matching lounge-wear for you and your pet. The package also features a host of activities, including a 5-star meal prepared by a private chef. Guests can indulge in an afternoon tea of fresh coffee, as well as 'puppicinos', mini sandwiches, fondant fancies, and, of course, doggy biscuits. The package also ensures that you and your dog not only feel fresh, but look fresh. A personal shopping service will provide an array of matching outfits - from raincoats and wellies to woolly jumpers On top of that, you and your dog can relax with a pampering experience. This includes a haircut, manicure, pedicure and massage for you, and a shampoo, massage and nail-trimming for your dog. Ideal. Additionally, dog-walkers and dog-sitters are available, should you want to escape for some time away from your pooch. The package is available to book now, and starts at €1,740 for a three-night weekend stay. Irish cottages included are Tuath na Mara in Donegal, Connemara Country House, County Meath Castle, Towerhouse Castle in Kilkenny, Gaelic Castle in County Clare and Georgian Mansion Estate in Cork.
