The surrounds of the cottage are stock proof to keep our livestock out but not dog proof.

Pets

We are happy to accommodate one well behaved dog with each booking (or speak to us about multiples), provided they don’t  need to sleep on the furniture!. Please do not leave them unattended in the cottage but use the dog accomodation in the shed if necessary.  Cottage boundary is not dog proof and you may well be surrounded by grazing sheep and game birds.  Please ensure dogs are under control.
We can provide grazing in a securely fenced field if you would like to bring your own horse.  Or possibly stabling nearby at South Slipperfield farm, (10min walk).
Dogs and horses incurr an extra charge, please see pricing page.

Parking and Access

Parking is limited to 3 cars.  Access is up a farm track (old drove road) which is obviously not tarmacked.  May not be ideal for very low cars, but quite satisfactory for the average family car.  Access through 3 farm gates, useful to have a passenger on board!
