Pets

We accept a maximum of two per property by arrangement. Note – We are a working farm with livestock and sheep in the surrounding fields and free roaming poultry in the grounds.

We do not have enclosed gardens, but can usually offer a field to walk in. The lanes around the farm are reasonably quiet with woodland areas and lake walks within three miles of us. Year round dog beaches just 20 mins drive away (Teignmouth River beaches and Shaldon).

We ask you not to leave your dog unattended at the property (they get distressed) and do not allow dogs upstairs and on the beds/furniture. Please bring your own beds, blankets, bowls, cage, and towels. Please see our Terms & conditions for more details. Pets are charged at £25 per pet, per stay.
