General
We welcome dogs at our Eco cottages except during the period between 26th July and 30th August.
We do have just a few requests to people holidaying with their dog. These are that dogs are not left alone in the cottages due to them possibly becoming distressed in unfamiliar surroundings and that you clean up any dog mess (using the eco dog poo composter). Because there are other dogs and wildlife at the Merlin Farm we ask that you keep your dogs on a lead around the farm and that they are fully vaccinated.
The eco cottages are also let to holiday makers who do not have dogs and so we’d be grateful if you could not allow your dogs onto the beds and sofa’s.
We understand how many things you have to pack when travelling with young children and babies and therefore we have tried to make the cottages as baby/child friendly as possibly by having items such as a travel cot, highchair, fireguard, stairgates, baby bath, changing mat and Plastic cutlery, cups, plates and bowls available. The Farm is great fun for children as they love a visit to Horace the Donkey as well as the horses. There is also a play area on the farm where they can meet other children on holiday at the farm.
