Dog do's and dont's

House rules for our doggy guests

From previous experience, we understand how hard it can be to find great accommodation that welcomes your whole family and your dog. That is why we are keen to make Dyffryn Conin as dog friendly as possible. We also understand why many accommodation owners say no to dogs — we’re determined not to punish the considerate majority of dog owners for the behaviour of the few.
Taking a dog friendly holiday doesn’t mean taking a holiday from your responsibilities as a dog owner — your dog deserves a holiday too, and there’s so much to explore. One visit won’t be enough.

House rules for a happy stay

A few simple things to keep in mind while you’re with us
On arrival
Please keep your dog in the car until we’ve shown you around the property and you’ve got your bearings.
On a lead at the farm
For the consideration of other guests and animals around the farmyard, dogs must always be on a lead at Dyffryn Conin. A few steps away, out in the fields or woods, they’re free to roam off the lead (livestock permitting) — copies of the countryside code are in every welcome pack.
House-trained & past the chewing stage
Maintaining our high standard of accommodation matters to us, and damage often has to be replaced rather than repaired. Any damages must be reported and paid for.
One dog fee

We currently welcome two  medium sized dogs, for a small charge of £15 each for the duration of your stay — added to your booking once you let us know.

Considerate barking

The property sits in a peaceful garden setting, so please consider whether your dog is a talkative one — your neighbours are our guests too.

Never left alone
Please don’t leave your dog alone in the property at any time.
Doggy doo-doo patrol
Please pick up after your dog wherever they are, and use the outside bin by the small gate near the swing. Free eco poo bags are provided in the property — in shared garden areas, please keep dogs off the grass where children play.
Downstairs only
Dogs aren’t allowed upstairs for any reason — a stair gate is fitted, so please keep doors closed. We provide a blanket for the sofa if you’d like to snuggle up before bedtime. Any evidence of a dog upstairs overnight means bedding is replaced and charged for.
Keeping it hair-free
A hoover is provided to keep the property free of dog hair. Properties requiring excessive cleaning may incur an additional fee.

Do get in touch if you are unsure about anything or would like any further information.

Thank you for helping keep Dyffryn Conin a superb location for both humans and dogs.
