Are the gardens really fully enclosed?
Yes, they are. As well as all being surrounded by either thick hedges or fencing, they all have chain-link fencing around them too. We have done absolutely everything we can think of to ensure that they are completely fully enclosed, but we don’t like to guarantee that we won’t be outsmarted by a determined “Houndini.”
How high are the fences?
We have a minimum height of 1.2m. This is the height of the chain-link fencing and gates. Additionally, all gardens have very high hedging as well. The exception is Woodfarm House, which has close board fencing all the way round, and is over 2m.
Can we bring more than 3 dogs?
We are more than happy to discuss a 4th dog with you, and possibly a 5th if they are little. We maintain a limit to ensure high standards of maintenance, but we have worked hard since 2009 to be as dog-friendly as possible while providing the best accommodation for human guests.
What is your cleaning regime?
Our team dedicates hours to cleaning our Luxury, Dog-Friendly Suffolk Holiday Cottages and Historic Dutch Holiday Barges after each stay. They ensure cottages are not just tidy, but free of dirt and germs. You can see from our reviews that we succeed in our efforts!
I am allergic to dogs. Is the property cleaned thoroughly?
Believe it or not, the owner of the business is also allergic to dogs! It is vital to us that each guest arrives without the faintest whiff that canine guests have just left.
Do you get fireworks near your Barns?
No. While we can’t guarantee neighbors won’t set off the odd whizz-bang, our nearest neighbor is half a mile away and they never have. We are tucked away down a rural lane, and many guests book specifically to escape unsettling bangs.
Do you have reviews from dog owners?
We’ve got thousands of them! We have spent a decade and a half building our reputation. You can read our reviews from dog owners here.
