Paws for a moment

Dogs are such a big part of the family, so finding a holiday where they can come too is key.

With this in mind, we have put together some of our favourite dog friendly properties for you to choose from.

So please read on and we hope you enjoy our first ''notes and stories'' newsletter from the comfort of your home.

First Edition:

The ''armchair traveller''

There are many ways to experience a sense of travel without actually travelling. Cooking those ''local'' dishes, listening to the playlist you made for the journey, flicking through your favourite photos, you get the gist.

However, we actually think we have a few other tricks up our sleeve to help take you places, without having to go anywhere at all. Take a read and let us know what you think. We''d love to hear your ''armchair travel'' tales too!

Take a perch...

Top ten benches across the south and west

Back in 2013 we scoured the countryside for the most lauded and unsung benches. Now we are in a time where you may not be able to trundle along to these places as normal, we thought we''d dig this out of the archive and take you there, and tell a few tales along the way too.

Watch live across the south and west...

(Image taken from our St Ives camera in January)

With the weather set to shine across our beautiful British Isles this weekend, you may want to be whisked away (digitally of course) to somewhere a little different.

Unforgettable views

Let''s celebrate the views of our beautiful British countryside for a moment. We''ve found a couple of ways this can be done which do not involve venturing far and wide to stand on a cliff top to gaze out to sea or clambering up onto our moorlands to overlook our ever-so-green countryside. No, instead these views can be enjoyed from the home...

Watch the waves at Sennen

We are really pleased to have our Sennen webcam live! It is a view we could quite easily watch all day. What a perfect way to get a little taste of the sea from the snugness of your own home. As well as Sennen, we have six other live webcams that are well worth a watch.

(This sunny shot was taken from our Sennen webcam earlier this week.)

Cottages with unforgettable views
