Do I need to book?
Yes, please use the online booking portal to book your 30-minute timeslot.
How will I know the gate code to get in?
The numbered gate code will be changed regularly but you will get the updated code as part of your confirmation e-mail. Please keep an eye out for this, but if you get stuck on the day please ring the office.
How many dogs can I bring?
The dog run is intended for use of up to 3 dogs from the same household at any one time. If you have more or are a professional dog walker looking to use the facility, please get in touch with the office directly.
Can I come with a friend?
Due to the parking situation we are asking people to travel in one car and only one household’s dogs at any one time.
How secure is the dog run?
It is fenced on all four sides, 2 sides with a 7ft+ fence and 2 sides with a fence and hedge. Whilst we have endeavoured to ensure that the dog run is always inescapable please pay close attention to your dogs. It is your responsibility to ensure they stay within the dog run.
When does my time slot start and finish?
Due to the back to back nature of the time slots please ensure that you have left the dog run and you dog is back in its vehicle before the half an hour expires. This will avoid any crossover with other dog run users.
Can I go for a walk from the dog run?
Unfortunately, due to other users of the site you cannot go for a walk from the dog run. However, there are lots of walks locally including on Skipwith National Nature Reserve.
Is the Café open?
Currently, the Riders Retreat café on the site is closed, we will update you when this changes.
Is there access to water on the site?
There is a water pipe along the fence line inside the Dog Run.
