Pets are welcome. They must be kept under control and on a lead when outside the property.

There are lots of wonderful walks in the area and you can reach a footpath within 100 metres of the cottage.

The lovely village of Stelling Minnis is easy to walk to and has a village shop and pub (only serves drinks - no food). The surrounding villages and towns have many lovely country pubs and cafes to enjoy and explore.
Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead and under control on the farm as there are other dogs and animals living on the farm.

Please don’t leave your dog unattended in the property for long periods of time. Distressed dogs bark and whine and this creates anxiety amongst the other farm animals.

Any dog mess must be cleared up immediately.
