We know every dog is different. The information below explains the outdoor space available at each property, helping you understand exactly what to expect before you book.
Once the entrance gate has been closed, the garden is enclosed, allowing many dogs to enjoy the garden safely. As every dog is different, we always recommend taking a quick walk around the perimeter on arrival to ensure you’re happy before letting your dog off the lead.
Both lodges feature enclosed decking with glass balustrades and privacy cladding, allowing your dog to relax safely alongside you while you enjoy the views or unwind in your private double spa bath.
A few steps from the lodge you’ll also find a designated enclosed dog area, complete with a tree trunk, tyre and weaving posts to provide somewhere for dogs to stretch their legs, play and toilet. We’ve even provided a love seat, so you can sit back, enjoy the panoramic views and watch your dog play.
The designated dog area is enclosed with standard stock fencing. We ask that dogs be kept on a lead between the lodge and the dog area, and that owners satisfy themselves that the fencing is suitable for their own dog before allowing them off the lead.
Every dog is different, which is why we’ve tried to provide the practical touches that make travelling together easier.
