Are dogs/pets welcome?

Yes, Elms Farm Holidays is great for dogs – there are certain fields on the farm where they can be let loose for an energetic run and there are plenty of bridleways and footpaths in the area. Please note the gardens are not enclosed.

The cottage has a garden room which is ideal pet space and dogs are also welcome in the lodge.

We ask that owners bring their own dog baskets and ensure that pets are clean and dried off before entering the properties. “Dog towels”, poop scoops and bags can be provided if necessary. We request that dogs are kept under control at all times and not left unattended (other than in the garden room in the cottage).

Pets are charged at a rate of £5 per pet, per week.

A high chair or booster seat and travel cot can be provided with prior arrangement. We ask you to provide your own cot bedding.
