Extra features

The Garden
Fully enclosed garden stock type fencing and newly installed panelling on the front gate as a visual barrier, fully secure for small dogs.

Dog Wash
Muddy paws be gone! A custom-built hot and cold dog wash is on-site, with shampoo, peanut butter lick mats, and grooming items free to use.

Enclosed Paddock
Access to a fenced paddock for off-lead zoomies. (Which paddock changes due to crop rotation - some fields may not be secure for smaller dogs prone to escape.)

Crate Provided
Dogs may be left unattended if they are comfortable, calm and will settle well. A dog crate can also be provided upon request.

Dog-Friendly Comfort
Dog throws are provided to protect soft furnishings, and dogs are welcome on the beds and furniture, making this accommodation ideal for pets who experience separation anxiety.

Things to note

Dogs On Site
The garden's entrance gate looks out onto a path that connects the muddy paws dog wash fields and other accommodation on site. You may briefly see other guests pass by the gate and they may have dogs with them. Very reactive dogs may struggle with this.

Dogs in the dog wash may see other guests and their dogs passing by if one happens to walk by while you are using it. The site requires dogs on leads, so they shouldn't get too close to you.

The Garden & Other Guests
The garden entrance gate opens onto a path linking the Muddy Paws dog wash, fields, and other on-site accommodation. You may occasionally see other guests passing by the gate, sometimes with dogs. Very reactive dogs may find this challenging, however, recently the front gate has had additional panelling installed as a visual barrier.

While using the dog wash, there is a chance that other guests and their dogs may pass by. The site requires all dogs to be kept on leads, so they should not approach too closely.

The Hayloft is a beautifully restored, dog-loving countryside retreat designed with both humans and hounds in mind. Sleeping four, this characterful cottage is saturated with rustic charm and modern comfort, creating a warm and welcoming escape in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside.

Dogs aren’t just allowed they’re celebrated. From the moment you arrive, your dogs are made to feel right at home, with doggy treats and towels provided for every stay and a hot doggy wash. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds (with throws thoughtfully provided), and all breeds are welcome. The cottage is also suitable for anxious dogs, and they have recently panelled the entrance gate to provide a visual barrier - a carefully considered touch for more visually reactive pups, so everyone can relax and enjoy their stay in comfort. Dogs can also be left unattended, and a crate can be provided if you wish to explore some of the dog friendly local pubs and restaurants, and they're too nervous to go with you. There is also access to a secure paddock for zoomies! (The specific paddock changes due to grazing.)

Secure outdoor space, peaceful surroundings and countryside walks straight from the door make The Hayloft a brilliant base for dogs who love to explore or simply relax by your side.

Step Inside The Space
From the moment guests step into the open-plan kitchen and dining area, The Hayloft feels warm and inviting. Exposed brickwork and original beams frame the space, while soft lighting and natural wood finishes create a relaxed, homely feel.

The fully equipped kitchen sits beautifully beneath striking timber beams, where morning light pours in and the kettle hums gently in the background. Everything you could need is provided, so you can arrive, unpack and start cooking. From slow, indulgent breakfasts at the large island to relaxed evening suppers shared over a glass of wine.

Practicality meets comfort with a dedicated boot room and laundry space ideal after countryside rambles and muddy dog walks. Kick off your boots, towel down paws, pop a wash on, and return to calm without a second thought. Upstairs, the vaulted living area is wonderfully cosy. Exposed beams frame the space, and a rich leather sofa invites you to sink in beside the crackle of the log fire. It’s made for board games that turn competitive, movie nights under soft throws, and those quiet, golden evenings where the only sound is the fire glowing and the dogs snoozing at your feet.

Sleeping four guests, the cottage offers two beautifully styled bedrooms, each with its own en-suite for that added touch of privacy and comfort, plus an additional bathroom for extra ease. Crisp white linens, layered textures and gentle natural light create calm, restful spaces that feel like a true retreat at the end of the day. With dogs welcome to sleep on the bed it's perfect for those with separation anxiety. The bathrooms are fresh and modern, with clean lines and soft neutral tones that bring a subtle spa-like feel. A deep bathtub awaits for those long, unhurried soaks after windswept adventures, perfectly balancing the rustic charm of the cottage with a little everyday luxury.

The Perfect Countryside Escape
The Hayloft offers the best of both worlds: authentic farmhouse character paired with comfort and practicality for guests travelling with dogs. Whether it’s morning coffee at the kitchen island, afternoons exploring local walks, or evenings relaxing under the beams, this cottage provides a stay that feels both special and effortlessly comfortable.

For guests seeking a dog-friendly break where every detail has been considered - especially for their four-legged family members - The Hayloft at Rowley Farm Holidays is a truly welcoming escape. 🐶✨

There are three other accommodations on site, two of which may be even more suitable for guests with highly reactive dogs who prefer additional separation and privacy. The Hideaway Hut and The Old Dairy The team are always happy to help guests choose the best fit for their dog’s needs.
