Dogs

I’M Chunk, YOUR FRIENDLY COTTAGE DOG,

 I AM THRILLED THAT YOU’RE CONSIDERING BRINGING ALONG ONE OF MY FURRY FRIENDS ON YOUR STAY.
WITH SO MUCH TO DO IN RUTLAND FOR US PUPS,  IT’S NO WONDER YOU’RE COMING TO THE BEE COTTAGE.  
BUT BEFORE YOU MAKE THAT DECISION, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING RULES:
  1.  Your dog needs to be house trained like me. There is lost of space in the garden for dirty business. Any indoor stains or mess will unfortunately incur additional charges.

  2. Go on plenty of walks (Rutland has some amazing on and off-lead walks), but please ensure you follow local rules especially in relation to livestock.

  3. Dogs are NOT ALLOWED TO BE LEFT UNATTENDED at cottage at any time.  Being in a new environment can understandably make us dogs very anxious and may result in activities such as chewing on furniture.

  4.  Please bring along toys, blankets, towels and food that your dog is used to.  This will make them more comfortable when in a new environment. (If you forget anything please visit either of my personal favourite local stores Tales and Whiskers or Stamford SAPS).
Dog Sitters and Dog walkers 
There is no need to take your dog with you at all times when there is so many local Pet and Dog sitters who’d be happy to help out!
Here are some recommendations, I urge you to contact them in advance of your arrival: 
Places to walk with your dog
