Pet Friendly accommodation for Dogs and Horses

Forest Cottages are pet friendly and we welcome well behaved dogs in the cottages but not in Forest Lodge or in the kennels within the grounds. Kennels and stabling is available on a DIY basis but all animals are supervised by the proprietor, Michelle, a qualified Veterinary surgeon of over 20 years experience. All animals remain the responsibility of their owners at all times. Liability is not assumed in any way whatsoever by the proprietors.

Pet Friendly Cottages

Dogs are welcomeWe are delighted to welcome up to 2 dogs (depending on the breed) in each cottage if arranged at the time of booking. To keep the cottages in the excellent condition you would expect to find there are a few conditions specified below. Alternatively dogs can be comfortably housed in our converted stalls. We regret that dogs are not allowed in Forest Lodge.

We regret we can not accept cats in our cottages.

Flea treatment is essential for all pets staying at our cottages and these cost as little as £5.

The following conditions apply for dogs staying in cottages:

We hope our guests will understand the need to detail our pet conditions and we appreciate that most owners will already be following these at their own homes, so please don't be offended.


• Dogs must have been treated for fleas and wormed within 4 weeks of arrival, Flea products must be of veterinarian quality eg Frontline, Advantage, Stronghold (supermarket treatments are not acceptable) Proof of this (eg certificates/packaging/dated receipts) will be asked for on arrival. Most veterinary practices will administer flea products and wormers at cost price. Frontline is also available from Boots.  Untreated dogs must either stay in the kennels or Michelle can purchase and administer the relevant treatments.  It is advisable that your pets are up to date with their vaccinations.

•Dogs must be over 9 -12 months of age (depending on breed) and neutered, bitches must not be in season during your stay.

• We ask owners to please pick up after their pet and place dog bags in the bin just inside the stable block. 

• Dogs must be kept on leads in the communal gardens as we have free ranging chickens and often other animals nearby.

• Dogs are welcome in the cottages downstairs but please do not allow them upstairs or on beds or furniture.

• Please bring your dog's own bed, blankets, and feed bowls. Some old towels are a good idea to clean and dry them after walks. Please don't use ours!

• Dogs must not be left alone in the cottages at any time. If you wish to go out without your pet the kennels are available free of charge. If dogs are found to have been left alone they will be removed to the kennels.

• A cleaning charge is applicable to cottages with dogs and owners are liable for all damage caused by dogs.  We reserve the right to levy a charge for any extra cleaning or repair required.
 

Kennels

Dogs may stay in our kennels

For pets staying in kennels bowls and beds are provided but there is plenty of room for your pets' favourite items. Specific food can be obtained in advance if requested at booking.  Kennelling is on a DIY basis. Dogs over 1 year old and neutered are allowed in cottages.

As kennels are located in our courtyard close to the accommodation they should not be regarded as boarding kennels. Dogs must be able to settle down within 20 minutes of being left but if they do not then they must be removed from the kennels and can either stay in our animal shelter in the paddock or in guest's vehicles.

If requested in advance we may be able to offer day care should you wish to go out for the day without your pets.  Please make sure that your pets are up to date with their vaccinations and have been wormed within 1 month of arrival.  As there are often sheep in surrounding fields and free ranging chickens we ask for dogs to be on leads in the main gardens.

Horses

Livery in hunter sized stables We offer DIY livery for horses in three large internal stables and there is also a smaller stall suitable for a pony. Shavings can be provided for bedding.  There are 2 separate paddocks of 1.25 acre and 0.5 acre which may be used, ground conditions permitting. 

Please make sure that your horse is up to date with its vaccinations and has been wormed recently.
