PET PROMISE

PET BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS

1. Permission & Eligibility
One dog is permitted by prior agreement only and must be declared at the time of booking. Puppies are not permitted. The dog must:

• be at least one year old

• be reliably house-trained

• be a short-haired or non-shedding breed

Additional dogs are not allowed unless expressly agreed in writing by the owner.

2. Pet Supplement
A £60 pet supplement per stay is payable to cover additional cleaning and wear. This does not limit the guest’s responsibility for damage or excessive cleaning beyond normal use.

3. Supervision & Behaviour
Dogs must not be left unattended in the property at any time. Guests must ensure that dogs do not cause nuisance, disturbance, or damage to the property, its contents, neighbouring properties, or livestock.

4. Use of the Garden
Any damage to the garden or grounds will be charged for repair or reinstatement. Guests must:

• clean up after their dog immediately

• prevent dogs from digging, fouling, or damaging lawns, flowerbeds, or planting

5. Cleanliness
Dogs must be clean and dry before entering the cottage. An outdoor tap is provided for dog washing, and dog towels are supplied for this purpose only. Guest towels, bedding and soft furnishings must not be used for pets.

6. Furniture & Soft Furnishings
Dog blankets are provided and must be used to protect furniture. Any pet hair, odours, staining or damage to upholstery, bedding or soft furnishings requiring specialist or excessive cleaning will be charged.

7. Damage & Additional Charges
The lead guest is responsible for the reasonable and evidenced cost of repairing, cleaning or replacing any items damaged, stained or soiled by the dog, including but not limited to furnishings, carpets, bedding, and garden areas. Such costs may be deducted from the security deposit and are not limited to its value.

8. Breach of Pet Terms
Failure to comply with these pet terms may result in:

• additional cleaning or damage charges

• termination of the stay without refund in serious cases

9. Acceptance
By confirming a booking with a dog, you acknowledge and agree to comply with these pet terms and conditions.

GOOD TO KNOW

• The garden is reasonably secure, but low walls mean escape cannot be guaranteed.

• A hosepipe is available in the alleyway for washing dogs. A clean river is also accessible at the bottom of the village.

• Livestock including sheep, cattle and wild horses graze freely on Dartmoor. Dogs should be kept on a lead where livestock are present.

• Under UK law, farmers may take action to protect livestock if dogs are worrying animals.

• If you would like recommendations for dog walks away from livestock, please ask.
