We are Dog Friendly!

We are happy to welcome friendly adult dogs and their owners to Ocean Drive.

We love dogs and have our own Labradoodle, Ralph and a Sheepdoodle Dexter, so we do understand that you would want to bring your four-legged family member on holiday with you.

We’re not steeped in policies and procedures here at Ocean Drive, but please do read through our Dog Policy (below) to ensure you, your dog and our other guests have a relaxing stay.

Dog Policy

We are happy to welcome responsible dog owners and well behaved house trained adult dogs at Ocean Drive. We cannot accept dogs that are likely to be at all aggressive to other dogs or people.

We request that dogs be kept on the lead at all times.

If you want to take your dog out for a walk from Ocean Drive, there are plenty of foot-paths that you can take leading out from the house, or the beach directly opposite over the dunes and to the right is dog friendly all year around.

Even well trained dogs can have accidents in strange places. If this happens please notify us and we will provide you with cloths and cleaning products.

Please ensure that your dog is dry and wipe off muddy paws before bringing them into the house. There are dog towels that you can use in the basket in rooms. For extra muddy paws please find one of us and we can direct you to a hose pipe you can use to get the worst of the mud off!

Even though we love dogs please be aware that not everyone likes dogs. Please don’t let your dog approach any other guests unless they encourage it.

We are not able to allow dogs in the dining room at breakfast. 

If you are following any marked footpaths through fields with livestock, then please keep your dog on a lead. When you see lambs or calves in the fields, please avoid walking through these fields if you can.

Please don’t allow your dog on the bed or on any other furniture in the guest bedrooms or public areas.  If this does happen you may be subject to an additional charge for deep cleaning of the linens, furniture and bed.

Dogs are not permitted to be left alone in the guest bedroom when you go out during the day and evening. This is a rule that we do strictly enforce. Even the best trained dogs, who perhaps stay at home alone quite happily, may bark continually, scratch and have accidents when left in a strange place.

There are dog friendly pubs highlighted in the guest welcome pack.

And finally if there is anything we can do to make you and your dog’s stay more relaxing please let us know!
