In the Pet world, undoubtedly truthfully labelled ‘Man’s best friend’!

But do you really want your ‘best friend’ locked in a cage/ run for 17 hours of the day. You’re on holiday but will your dog feel like he is?

Rest assured here at The Pet Hotel your dog won’t be locked away for hours at a time, he/she would be free to come and go, inside or outside whatever the mood takes.

Inside: sprawl on the sofas, stretch out on the beds, curl up in front of the log fires (winter only), watch T.V, listen to the radio, snuggle up in the sleep room, have a game of tug o war in the lounge, sunbathe in front of french windows, bed down on the duvets in the office, seek out a quiet corner and have 40 winks.

Outside: run on the grass, sniff the flowers and plants, sunbathe on our decking area (duvets included of course), have a good old scratch and back rub in the sand pit, play bouncing ball on the paved garden, lie by the pond and various other water features (bowls of fresh water are available everywhere .... just some of our guests insist on drinking the ‘natural’ stuff), survey the wildlife, dig in the mud, bury their chewies, just sit and watch the world go by.......

All doggy guests please note:
As much as you may wish to meet our smaller, fury guests i.e. rabbits and cavies face to face, unfortunately this is a strict no-go area. ‘Thumpers retreat’ our purpose built hotel for our herbivores is completely out of bounds and you will not even have access to the pathway that leads to it.

We want all our guests to have a safe, fun and enjoyable holiday so we are sure you will abide with our rules.

Grooming, teeth cleaning, shampoo and set can be included in your daily routine if required.

Walkies...
All our walks are commensurate with the amount of exercise you are normally used and built up from there. If you wish your stay to be more of a health farm experience we will devise a fitness programme or lose some weight holiday that suits.

When packing your bags for your holiday, here is a checklist to help you on your way:

Please bring the following:

• Your up to date vaccination certificate with you. We cannot book you in   without it

• The dates you were last wormed and de flead

• Your lead …… very important for your walks

• A blanket, mummy's jumper or something that smells of home. You   can bring your own bed but we have lots here anyway

• You’re normal food/meals

It is never a good idea to change your diet quickly, as I’m sure your tummy and mummy has told you, so we do ask that your owners bring whatever you normally eat for the duration of your stay.

We can supply your meals but an additional charge will be made for this.

All snacks (from tripe sticks, bonios, hide chews to tuna biccies) will be supplied as treats free of charge, usually after midday walks and last thing at night before ‘lights out’.

Space at our Hotel is limited and we only take a set amount of canine guests at any one time. Our current charges are £13 per dog per 24 hours (£6.50 a day, £6.50 per night) but this will rise to £15 from 1st January 2008. Priority will always be given to our regular, long-term visitors. Please bear this in mind when phoning or emailing about availability.
