DOGS
We love dogs and have border collies, however, we do need to have a few rules, so that everything runs smoothly
We also have a few tips to make their stay enjoyable
Dog Info
Dogs should be a minimum of 6 months old at the time of your holiday.
Please clean up after your dog(s) - both inside and out. We ask that all dog poop is bagged and binned -poo bags and bins are provided.
Please check the garden and clean up any dog poop, and be extra vigilant if your dog is likely to mark walls/furniture and clean immediately in order to minimise damage and staining
Please keep your dog(s) off the furniture and from going upstairs (there is a door separating the upstairs). However, we do try to be flexible and recognise some dogs like to sleep near their owners.
Dogs are only allowed in bedrooms on a dog bed or in a crate if this has been previously discussed with us and you have agreed to bring your own bed linen.
We reserve the right to invoice guests if any bedding requires extra cleaning or if it is damaged/ stained and needs replacing.
Please do not allow muddy, wet dogs within the Farmhouse.
Please do not leave the doors open for dogs to run in and out if it is wet/muddy conditions outside. Wash down thoroughly - and please keep dog(s) in the boot room until they are clean and dry. Some dog towels are provided.
We ask that dogs are not left alone in the house for long periods of time. If you do need to leave the dog(s) alone it must only be for a short period of time and only if you are confident that your dog(s) will settle in a strange place or if they are happy within a crate.
We would prefer that they are left in the boot room. There is plenty of space to set up a crate in there.
If you know the dog(s) can be destructive when left alone, or if they suffer from separation anxiety, please DO NOT leave them unsupervised under any circumstance. It's just not fair on your dog(s) (or on us if they cause damage).
If your dog(s) causes any damage, please report it to us immediately; the damage will be assessed and the lead guest will be sent photo evidence and invoiced appropriately. Any invoice must be paid within 7 days.

The woodland has long inspired creative and cultural gatherings, reflecting the character of the National Forest and the communities who live there.
The woodland itself was planted in different eras, the oldest being Feanedock Covert, established in the late 19th century, possibly as a fox covert. A century later, further tree planting took place as part of the Ashby Woulds regeneration in the 1990s, shortly before the National Forest added a third area of planting in 2009 to create the woodland we see today. The site is planted mainly with native broadleaved species. A small pond was created at the northern end and is surrounded by marshy grassland with a variety of flowers and emergent plants, such as reeds and rushes.
There are clues to the industrial heritage of the area with steep embankments thought to be due to coal mining, and views over the neighbouring lake, previously a landfill site and before that, an open cast coal mine. From black to green, the landscape has undergone a dramatic transformation to the scenic views of today.
A bridleway link has been created along the hedgerow edge of the site. Gorse Lane, the bridleway which separates Feanedock from the adjacent Boothorpe Wood, is part of the National Forest Way.
