Pets are welcome at Foxes Reach , Tintern Abbey Cottage , and at Vanilla Cottage! "
The Lady" magazine ( Feb 09 )said " five star cottages which have everything- a real home from home for you and your pet."

• We welcome up to two medium sized dogs( springer labrador size approx ), or one of a giant breed at each cottage.
• We will sometimes accept three dogs if tiny such as jack russell types but this is subject to the type and size of the pets and the number of humans in the party. Please ask.

  Basically we will not accept more than seven bodies at Foxes Reach or Tintern Abbey Cottage ie 6 people one dog or five people one dog one baby and so on - or 4 bodies at Vanilla Cottage.This is in order to retain the high quality experience we want to give you which would be lost if you are crammed in -and it is especially important at Christmas time when there is also a full sized fresh tree at each cottage - beautiful but takes up space!

  We do have pet equipment such as bowls, leads and muddy paws towels available free of charge which you are welcome to borrow- although your dog may typically prefer his own! Please bring his own bed- a cage is also a great idea if he is used to it at home.

  Pets may not be left alone in our cottages when you are not at home
  except if they are enclosed in thir own cage on one of the hard floors .This protects our cottage which is one reason for the ban on home alone pets, but the other aspect is that many pets become badly upset by being left in a strange house with no understnding that you will come back to them- so its much kinder to to have them wait in your familiar car.

• Sorry but no puppies or very much older incontinent dogs. All must be reliably housetrained.
• Additional charges are payable.
• Bring your horse and we can provide stabling, at additional charge within walking distance of Foxes Reach and 1.5 miles from Tintern Abbey Cottage. There is brilliant hacking and we are in "commuter" distance of a number of good shows, hunts , events and endurance rides.
• There is really excellent local walking from the doorsteps and dogs love our woodburners after a good run in the forest!
• We will usually accept a housetrained cat with its own litter tray by arrangement
• Our gardens are well fenced and gated but are not Houdini proof compounds and you need to be responsible for your pet.Very small dogs such as determined Jack Russell "terrorists" may be able to get under our gates- but we have never lost a visitor yet!

  We do permit small caged animals such as gerbils to accompany you on holiday but they are not allowed out of their cages in the cottage Caged birds may not fly in the cottages and must also remain caged. We usually make no charge for small caged animals but this is at our discretion and they must be properly "booked" with us.

  Our cottages are unfortunately not especially suitable for those with mobility issues ( see our access statements) however there will naturally be no charge for a registered assistance dog such as a Hearing Dog accompanying the less able person being assisted.We may ask for the registration details.Please discuss with us at time of booking.
