Teenage Guinea Pig
Not been on the forum a while for various reasons, so hello again! Myself and the guinea pigs have just got back from a week's holiday at Lake Windermere today. We stayed at Fallbarrow Holiday Park which is in Bowness and I can recommend it for anyone who wants to take their piggies on holiday (it's not bad for humans too)! There are a mix of cabins and caravans - we stopped in an 'Edenhall' caravan (which had enough floorspace in the lounge area for Primrose and Stanley's holiday pen). I booked it through a holiday website but rang the park directly to ask if I would be allowed to take my guinea pigs - I explained to the lady on the phone that they would be in their pen at all times and she said that it would be fine (you just need to make sure you book a pet-friendly accommodation and pay a supplement for 1 dog). (When I got there the caravan they allocated me actually had a sticker saying it wasn't pet-friendly, but nobody asked and I had my booking paperwork to show I'd booked pets if there had been any trouble, which there wasn't.) When I went out I left the kitchen window slightly open (unfortunately I couldn't leave any of the lounge windows open) and closed the curtains; a couple of times it felt a little bit stuffy when I got back but nothing too bad (and they had water etc). The weather has been lovely this last week (between 18 and 23 degrees and no rain) - if it had been any warmer I would've worried about leaving the guinea pigs in the caravan unattended but as it was it was okay. So if anyone is wanting somewhere to go on holiday with their guinea pigs I can give Fallbarrow the thumbs up - it's in a great location and is right at the side of the lake.
I’m glad you could take your piggies away with you
