At Old Oak Cottages we are dog friendly in four of our properties - Fox, Owl, Mouse and Wren. (We keep ALL the other cottages pet free in case of guest allergies).
Our farm location is perfect for walking your dog, direct from the cottage doorstep, traffic free (apart from the odd tractor!) we mow paths through our wooded areas and around the wildlife pond - dogs adore this great adventure!
We charge a small fee of £30 per stay to bring a dog. If you have more than one dog, please discuss this with us either by telephone or email, as it may be possible to bring 2 dogs if they are on the small side.
If you wish, we can provide Dog Bowls, Dog Treats, Food Mats, Dog Poop Bags, Dog Towels and Throws for the furniture. These need to be requested at the time of booking.
There is a separate bin for doggy poop bags, and an outside tap for muddy paws!
We can offer help with pubs/restaurants/coffee shops that are dog friendly and we are fortunate to have a very good relationship with our local Veterinary Surgeons, (Skeldale Vets, aka The Yorkshire Vet, as seen on TV!!) so if a problem should occur whilst staying at Old Oak, help and advice is not far away.
