Pet friendly stopovers

Hi, this is the first time I have posted anything but hope to get ideas, we usually travel through Europe in our Motorhome with our 3 small dogs with no problem but next year we have found a property we would like to rent for 3 months in Mojacar so will be travelling by car, we will be driving from Calais and would like to do this in 3 days (2 nights) as it looks like it will take about 20 hours from Calais, can anyone recommend stopovers along the way that would accept 3 small dogs. Thank you in advance for any help. Kind regards Karen and a Gary

Use something like trivago.com or booking.com and use the filters to to select 'pet friendly/ pets allowed'

Thank you for your advice and will do this but was hoping for recommendations from personal experience if possible.

Not too many people on this site travel with one day - let alone three dogs.

It's unclear whether you have made previous very long trips to the continent and whether you are a UK or Irish citizen, so this information may not be needed:

If you are traveling on a US or Canadian passport, you cannot stay in Mojacar for 3 full months unless you go through the considerable hassle of applying for a Spanish long-stay visa and are able to get one. Without that visa your entire time from the moment you arrive in a country within the Schengen Zone until you depart cannot exceed 90 days, including both the arrival day and the departure day.

I will be in Spain for 90 days, we do usually go in a Motorhome, I have looked at booking.com as someone has suggested and found pet friendly hotels but just need to ask if 3 dogs allowed as it will be out of season, I may also try air bnb. Thank you

We just arrived in the UK with our dog, picked up our lease car in Calais and stayed at an exremely dog friendly Chateau B&B about 45 minutes from Calais. Huge garden, fenced in, and walking distance to a few shops-bakery, cheese, etc.
