Dog Friendly Glamping with Hot Tubs

We have three dog friendly safari tents at Middle Stone Farm, these are Buzzard, Hawk and Kestrel Lodges, both large and very comfortable safari tents.  We provide dog bowls, a dog friendly fleece blanket, jar of treats and compostable poo bags, we also have a metal loop on the front of the lodge and a long tether so your dog can be with you whilst you're outside in the hot tub or around the barbecue. 

The front deck of these three lodges is fenced and gated and there are plenty of cosy corners inside the lodge for your dog's bed or beanbag.  We are a working farm so we do ask for dogs to be on leads at all time please when you are outside your lodge.  If you're staying in the school holidays, there are usually lots of children around too so your dog will definitely receive lots of cuddles and attention, but we do ask for dogs to stay with you on their leads.

We have three dogs of our own, Molly is an elderly terrier and we have two young Giant Schnauzers who are not supposed to go into the glamping fields unless it's changeover day in which case you'll see them running around whilst we are filling up hot tubs and logs stores.

We do have a few dog rules, similar I imagine to other glamping sites.  We are quite strict about these so do please ensure you're happy to follow these before booking your stay. 

Our Dog Rules

• Please keep your dog on a lead at all times outside your safari tent and make sure your dog is controlled.  We have lots of animals here including pregnant sheep and free ranging poultry and there are often young children staying on our farm who might not want to be jumped on, or step in dog poo.   
• Please do not allow your dog to run free in the glamping fields.   We have some woods at the top of our drive where you can let your dog off the lead.   If you are the only guests staying, we may be able to make an exception to our lead rules, just chat to us about it at the time if you are. 
• Dogs must be well behaved and not climb on the sofas or beds (or go into the hot tub!) please. 
• If you go out, you must take your dog with you as we do not allow dogs to be left unattended on our farm, either in your accommodation, or left in your car.  If we find your dog left alone, we reserve the right to let it out! 
• Please make sure you have scooped up any dog poo, there is a bin for bagged dog waste in the glamping field.  
• We can only host dogs over 6 months of age, no puppies please.  Please make sure your dog is wormed and up-to-date with vaccines, and please don't bring a bitch on heat as that is too tempting for any male dogs in the vicinity! 
• We cannot host any dogs who are aggressive, out-of-control or with behavioural issues eg. constant barking.  If your dog seems out of control we will unfortunately have to ask you to leave and there would be no refund.  
• You will see our dogs running free around the farm and our dogs will be in the glamping fields on changeover days.
