Short-term rental platform, Dog Friendly Cottages, has released a lovely new collection of 16th-century chocolate box cottages that are also pet-friendly. Homey places where we can live out our cottagecore dreams with our friends, family and fluffy companions in tow when the days get shorter, and the nights get longer. Each of the homes is located in England and guests should be aware of local public health guidelines before booking, and again, just before their arrival.
