Extra features
Woodland Walk
In addition to the field, there is also a small woods to explore. This isn't fenced, but it's a gorgeous walk and has a stream for water-loving dogs to splash in.
Fenced Field
An enclosed field, with a flip sign for when it's in use, is just a short walk from the cabin and is for the sole use of guests - the perfect space for your dog to enjoy off-lead time without encountering other humans or dogs.
Things to note
The car park
Parking is in a shared space with one other cabin, which is located on the other side of a large section of empty decorative field/garden. It's unlikely you'll see the other guests during your stay, potentially only passing in the carpark, hence making it very easy to avoid contact for dogs that may struggle with strangers.
As such, it's unlikely you'll see or hear the other guests during your stay unless you arrive or depart at the same time. (I'm sure this could be arranged in advanced with the host if needed).
The host has dogs on site, although they're accustomed to putting them away upon request. If your dog is reactive or anxious around other dogs, just let the host know, and they'll keep them away for the duration of your stay.
Chickens
Cluckingham Palace is a large fenced-in coup, which you can easily avoid going near, whilst accessing the woodland walk and the field. Unless your dog really struggles with scents they are very unlikely to affect your stay, but do provide delicious eggs for the mini farm shop.
Other Guests
This accommodation looks out onto a large open field. The left side of that field has a mowed path that leads down to the fully fenced dog paddock. Because of this, a guest from the other cabin on site may be seen walking up to the paddock in the very far distance, and this is likely to include dogs. This is a minor trigger for most dogs due to the distance; however, it is worth noting if you have a particularly reactive dog to movement.
Should you wish to avoid this, I’d recommend checking out the other accommodation on site, which is The Hive as it doesn't share the same view If your dog’s super sensitive.
