Dog Friendly

As dog lovers ourselves, we appreciate the importance of the canine members of your family being included in your holiday. We are a very dog friendly campsite, we do not discriminate over breeds of dogs, neither do we limit the number of dogs per pitch.

Making us a popular campsite for those who own multiple dogs and are involved in canine sports of all kinds.

We do ask for dogs to be kept under control and for you to be mindful of wildlife and livestock. Also to be considerate of your fellow campers as we are not an exclusively dog owners campsite.

We are very happy for you to erect fencing around your unit and although dogs need to be kept on a lead or tether on the campsite, there is a large field adjoining the campsite where dogs can free run.

Dogs must not be left unattended on the campsite.

We live in a great area for dogs. Many of the beaches are dog friendly, we have forestry commission just ¼ mile up the road and the coastal footpath is a wonderful place to walk your dog. We also have several local places to eat where dogs are welcome.

Please note our day kennels are currently closed.
