Dog Sitting

Dog friendly…Bringing your dogs on holiday couldn’t be easier.

We have a dog ourselves and would love you to bring your dog with you, to share in the enjoyment of your holiday.

We know dogs are members of your family, so don’t expect you to pay extra for them – so dogs are FREE OF CHARGE. We also don’t have any limits on the number of dogs you can bring. The most we have had visit, so far, are 33 huskies! So if you have 5 dogs, 10 dogs or more, you are welcome!

Raw feed? We have that covered, too! In the laundry house (with a handy washer and dryer and located next to the cottages), we have a spare freezer for raw-fed dogs. Just label your items and take your leftovers at the end of your stay!

Dogs on the bed? Yup, no problem. Just let us know and bring your own duvet cover, sheet and pillow cases. Dogs on the sofa. Absolutely! We provide throws for you to use in your dog welcome pack.

Muddy paws? Not a problem. We have a dog wash in our kennel house for muddy paws, and our stone floors mean spills are not an issue either.

Want to leave your dogs somewhere safe or have working dogs who like kennels? We have 2 purpose-built kennels in our kennel house, next to the cottages. Roomy kennels where dogs can be left if you wish to go out without them (although you will find almost everywhere is dog-friendly). If you would like to leave your dog in the kennel, we are happy to monitor your dog, and we will get in contact if they are not settled.

The cottages are individually fenced with 6ft solid fencing for your security & peace of mind while staying here. This makes the cottage XL-friendly.  The entrance to the cottage parking is enclosed with a 5-bar farm gate, with chicken wire to stop dogs from going through the gate. There is about a 3-inch gap under the gate to allow the gate to open freely. Knowing you can safely unload the dogs from the car is important.

All our fields are well fenced (as sheep are incredible escape artists). When you arrive, we will show you which field is available for off-leash fun with your dog (it rotates around depending on where our livestock are). Each field is around 2 acres for lots and lots of off-leash fun. With 2 cottages and 1 field available, we use a sign to indicate if you are using the field. That means you can use it on your own – great for reactive dogs and XLs/exempt dogs.
