Online, August 19, 2012 (Newswire.com) - This Olympic and Jubilee year has seen an explosion in UK holidays. Many British families have stayed in the UK for their main holiday and taken the opportunity to bring their dog with them. This has resulted in a huge boost in visitor numbers to the new dog friendly travel website www.roverrecommended.com, which has smashed its fundraising target for dog rescue. All proceeds from the site are donated to the Border Collie Trust GB and its rapid growth has already raised over £1500 for the charity.
Dog owners who are looking for a really warm welcome for them and their pooch need look no further as all the listings on Rover Recommended have been recommended by other dog owners. Each dog friendly hotel, cottage, B&B, pub, beach and attraction on the site has detailed information to help you to decide whether it's right for you and your dog. Independent reviews from rover reporters across the UK help you to choose the best places for a day out or dog friendly holiday.
"The Olympic effect on dog friendly holidays has been a really unexpected boost for the charity. We're really excited about how quickly Rover Recommended is growing and the money that we have raised for dog rescue," said Louise Dolan, who founded the site with her husband Simon Howgill to say thank you to the Border Collie Trust GB for saving their dog Holly from an uncertain future in Ireland. "We've had great feedback from dog owners who have used our site to plan holidays in Britain during the Olympics. Holidaymakers that stayed in the UK to cheer on Team GB with their family pet have helped other dogs who still need a good home."
Planning the perfect getaway with your four-legged friend has never been easier as the site features travel articles to inspire dog owners to explore the UK. To keep everyone entertained, Rover Recommended also offers a really easy way to search for fun places to visit and eat out whilst you are away that will suit the whole family. There's even a mobile version of the site to help with last minute changes of plans to suit the British weather!
