As doggy people ourselves we understand how hard it can be to find good
quality accommodation that welcomes your whole family and your dogs. That’s
why we’re keen to make Helsbury Park as dog friendly as possible. We also
understand why many accommodation owners say no dogs! We’re determined not
to punish the considerate majority of dog owners for the behaviour of the
few. To ensure we all get along for years to come, we thought it might be
helpful to outline some house rules for our doggy guests and also to remind
you of some useful tips for a safe and happy holiday. It’s important to
point out that taking a dog friendly holiday does not mean taking a holiday
from your responsibilities as a dog owner.
When
you first arrive we strongly recommend that you keep your dog(s) on the lead
while you get your bearings and get to know the site
For
the consideration of other guests, other dogs and animals on site you must
keep your dog(s) under control around the other properties, this may mean
keeping them on the lead when you first set out for your walk, obviously
once they’re out in the fields or the woods they can be off the lead as much
as you like
You
must let us know in advance if you’re bring more dogs than stated on your
booking form, any additional dogs arriving without prior notice will be
charged for at £30 per dog
When you want to go out to dinner consider trying one of the many local
pubs that allow you to take your dog with you.
Pease do not leave your dog(s)
alone with free run of the property.
Feel
free to use the kennel we’ve provided adjacent to each property but make
sure you provide your dog(s) with water and clean out afterwards
Do
do doo-doo patrol! Please pick up after your dog(s) wherever they are and
dispose of poo in an outside bin, even if it’s raining. We’ve provided free
poo-bags in the dispensers on site, so please use them. And remember you can
take bags with you to the beach and on walks. Also, please do it as you go
along as our gardener may well mow the lawn while you’re out and it’s easier
for him if the lawn is clear of poo
If
you have a puppy please bring a crate or cage with you, we really don’t want
them to chew the furniture or soft furnishings here in our 5 star cottages!
As maintaining our grading is key to our unique offer we can’t always just
repair damage, more often than not it has to be replaced, at your expense!
We do have a cage you can borrow if required, just let us know
Remember to take plenty of fresh water with you on days out. Some of the
quieter beaches do not have facilities that allow you to fill a bottle.
Keep your dog(s) under close control at all times for their own safety as
well as the comfort of others. Dogs do fall off cliffs and get stuck in
holes, please don’t let it happen to yours.
Please
thoroughly clean the cottage, including dog hair from rugs, before you
leave; if properties require excessive cleaning we will impose an additional
£50 fee to cover the cost of additional cleaning time
Dogs
are not allowed upstairs in the barns, there are stair gates in both
properties to assist you with this, just ask if you have any problems
operating them, in Broadview please shut the doors to rooms you’re not using
so that dogs do not sneak into bedrooms when your back is turned
Please
do not allow dogs on furniture without using one of the blankets provided
Please
try and discourage your dog from eating the wildlife
We regret that an additional flat charge of £50 will have to be made if
carpets, rugs or bed-spreads require additional cleaning.
If beds in more than one room require changing when a couples only
discount has been applied the balance of the full occupancy rate will be
charged.
Thank you for your help in keeping Helsbury Park 5 Star and Dog Friendly.
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for a blissful week at Helsbury! We all had a
fantastic time, the house is heavenly and the woodlands are delightful. We all
left reluctantly this morning but Barney clearly didn't want to and we
eventually found him hiding under the chair in the kitchen area! Thank you
again and if you'll allow us to return I'd love to book again for next year."
"For the third year running we have had a fantastic holiday, so peaceful
and relaxing. The dogs adore playing in the river and chasing through the
woods and fields. Perfect."
