It's a dogs life...!
Norfolk
is a very dog friendly county. Lots of open spaces, beaches
with few restrictions and very little in the way of livestock to
worry about. This site will give you an idea of the many
places to visit
Dog friendly Norfolk
We have
dogs of our own and like to holiday with them in
the UK. One of the hardest parts of this is finding
somewhere that will take more than "Two well behaved dogs" and not
charge a fortune for it or make you feel like a second class
citizen for wanting to bring your pets on holiday too!
So, with dog owners like ourselves
in mind, we have set out to make both
cottages genuinely dog friendly. There is no charge for any number
of dogs in The Old Piggery and a charge of only £10 per dog for
over 4 dogs in the Old Forge - this is because the Old Forge is
carpeted throughout and does take quite a lot of extra cleaning
after a booking with lots of dogs. The Old Piggery has
pamment floors throughout and is, therefore, much easier to
clean!.
We
provide:
* a tin of dog biscuits to go with the human's welcome tray
cakes
* “I’m on holiday” tags for you to clip to your dog’s collar for
the
duration of your stay. These show our telephone details just
in
case your dog is lost whilst you are here. Three of these per
cottage. We may be able to provide if you need them.
Please ask.
* a dog bed - big enough for two small dogs or one medium dog
* doggie towels to dry paws after muddy or wet walks
* spare food and water bowls
* throws for the furniture
* loan of a large or small crate if required - please
request.
* a fully fenced area for safe turnout (NOTE: The Forge
fence at it's lowest is approximately 3.5ft and at the Piggery it
is 4ft)
* a selection of local walks and maps
Doggie Rules
All we ask is that you
clean up after your dog - both inside and out. Bags are provided
if you haven't brought your own.
Please keep dogs out of the bedrooms in the Forge where possible - there is plenty of room for
them elsewhere. If your do want your dogs to curl up
with you then please use the throws/towels.
Leaving
your dog(s) alone in the cottages - we would prefer this isn't done
unless you are very confident
that your dog will settle.
If you know they can be destructive or reactive when they are left alone, or
they suffer from separation anxiety, please do not leave them
unsupervised for any period. It’s just not fair on your dog
(or on us if they cause damage!) There is plenty of room in both properties for dog crates. In the unlikely event of your dog(s) causing any
damage, this will be taken from your damage deposit (see
conditions)
The
usual Countryside Code guidance applies
-
see here.
And finally..... if you get home and
find you have some lovely photos of your dog(s) enjoying
their holiday we would love a copy or two. We feature them
on our blog site
here which also shows
other lovely pictures of the area and The Old Piggery.
