What it means for their stay

Dogs in season may need a modified care routine.
They may need to be kept apart from other dogs.
Every dog already has their own private kennel.
Supervised play is only ever with your consent and when it suits your dog.

Before you book

Tell us if your dog is in season, or due to be, during the stay.
Mention it in your booking request, or contact us first.
Where needed, we may modify or decline a booking to keep every guest safe.

Dogs need a current C3 or C5, given at least 2 weeks before arrival.
Drop-off and pick-up are 8 to 9am and 4 to 5pm every day.
Our minimum stay is 2 nights.
