Yes! Dogs are welcome on this pitch. Being enclosed means they can roam safely within your space, but we do ask that they are kept under control and any mess is cleared promptly. If you are a multi dog person, there is no arbitrary maximum number. We just ask the dogs to make sure you are well behaved. We accept all exempted banned breeds.
We’ll show you how to fill, heat and maintain your tub. It’s easy to use, and we provide the wood. Allow around 2–3 hours for heating before your first soak.
No, please bring your own tent or caravan gear. Bedding and cooking equipment are not provided.
Not on site: there are EV charging points available at Dobbies and Orton Grange as detailed above.
