Dog Code of Conduct

We are proud to provide quality, luxury accommodation in our beautiful holiday homes, and enjoy meeting the different needs of all our guests by offering a selection of dog-free and dog-friendly holiday properties.

Guests must let us know they are bringing their dog at the time of booking. We take a small charge for this. When booking, guests are required to accept our Terms & Conditions and Dog Code of Conduct, so we can keep our cottages in excellent condition for all guests.

Upon departure, please leave the cottage as clean and tidy as possible. An additional cleaning fee will be incurred should excessive cleaning be required following your departure.

• Dogs must be booked and paid for in advance. Any dogs arriving without prior arrangement will need to be accommodated elsewhere at your own cost.
• We ask that you do not allow your dog on furniture or in bedrooms, please use the throws provided for the sofas. An additional cleaning fee will be incurred should there be evidence of dogs having been on beds or furniture.
• We cannot guarantee that any outside space at the holiday home is fully enclosed and advise that the perimeter is checked by yourself before letting your dog off the lead.
• Any damage caused by dogs to furniture, carpets, bed linen, towels etc. will incur a commensurate replacement or cleaning fee.
• We regret that dogs known to bark excessively are not permitted.
• Dogs are not allowed to be left unattended in any property unless they are happy to rest in their own cage brought from home and are unlikely to bark and disturb other guests.
• Please wash off muddy paws before entering the property; guest towels must not be used on dogs.
• Please clean up after your dog, including whilst in the property gardens, courtyards and the surrounding fields. Dog waste must be binned using appropriate bags.
• If you are part of a group booking, your dog must be kept to the dog-friendly property it was booked into. If you wish your dog to go in and out of other homes included in your booking, the pet fee must be paid for those cottages too. This of course will mean ensuring the other cottages in your booking are also dog friendly.
• We ask that your dog is kept on a lead if you are staying in a holiday property complex with shared outside areas.
• Dogs must be kept on a lead when walking through fields if they are occupied by livestock, and please obey the Countryside Code. Always keep your dog under close control for their own safety as well as the comfort of others.
