A typical day at The Dog Cottage

At The Dog Cottage, each day is meticulously curated to reflect the gentle, familiar routine your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel enjoys at home — enhanced with an added layer of indulgence. While you’re away, your Cavalier is immersed in a holiday experience designed entirely around comfort, care, and wellbeing.

Gentle Wake-Up & Cuddles

Mornings at The Dog Cottage unfold slowly, just as Cavaliers prefer. Your Cavalier awakens from a restful night on a king-sized bed dressed in 1,000 thread count sheets, greeted with unhurried cuddles and quiet affirmations to begin the day in a calm, loving way.

A beautifully prepared breakfast follows. Our guests dine on premium, human-grade cuisine by 5 Hounds by Dr Will, thoughtfully selected to exceed the nutritional needs of this special breed and support long-term health and vitality.

Morning Walks & Nature Adventures

After breakfast, your Cavalier enjoys a gentle morning outing. Many days include time in a private, fully fenced dog park, where guests may roam freely and safely. From there, we meander home through tranquil forest surrounds, pausing to take in serene water views and birdsong, a peaceful sensory experience that Cavaliers find deeply enriching.

Upon returning to the cottage, it’s time to unwind. Cavaliers settle onto our plush faux-fur-draped sofa for their daily grooming ritual. Coats are carefully brushed, knots delicately removed, and soothing massages given. Tick checks, eye and ear cleans are completed with care, all while soft, calming music plays in the background. Before long, our guests drift into a contented midday sleep.

Afternoon Enrichment & Sensory Play

Afternoons are devoted to gentle enrichment brain activities, thoughtfully tailored to stimulate the mind while maintaining a sense of calm. Your Cavalier participates in brain-enriching games designed to support cognitive wellbeing and emotional balance.

This is followed by a leisurely treat hunt within our purpose-built sensory garden. Here, Cavaliers indulge their natural foraging instincts, sniffing for hidden treats nestled among dog-safe herbs such as mint, rosemary, and basil. The experience is both mentally fulfilling and quietly joyful.

Evening Wind-Down

As evening approaches, your Cavalier is served an exquisite dinner, another nourishing creation courtesy of 5 Hounds by Dr Will, finished with crushed seaweed to support dental health. An “after-dinner mint” follows in the form of an Oravet Dental Chew, ensuring oral care is seamlessly woven into the nightly routine.

Turn-down service then begins. Shutters and blinds are drawn, the fireplace is lit, ambient lighting softens the space, and cosy blankets are artfully arranged across the sofa. Cavaliers settle into their preferred positions, and the evening concludes with unhurried cuddles and quiet companionship.

After a final outdoor break, everyone retires to the primary bedroom, where your Cavalier settles once more into the king-sized bed for a peaceful and restorative night’s sleep.

Photos & Videos for Peace of Mind

Throughout your Cavalier’s stay, you’ll receive regular photos and videos capturing their day. You can relax completely, knowing your beloved companion is cherished, comfortable, and enjoying an exceptional holiday experience at The Dog Cottage.

Barktimonials

“The Dog Cottage is amazing! Our ruby boy Raffie loves it there! Megan, Charlie Frank and Lily Grace are incredible hosts! Raff is almost 12 but is full of life and lives large. Megan has plenty of pawsome activities planned to satisfy any fur babies. Raff’s new favourite hobby is the sensory garden. Brilliant! We could enjoy our time away knowing Raff was safe, secure and happy with loads of activities, treats and cuddles.”

- Raffie’s Dad, Nigel Sharp

“I can thoroughly recommend The Dog Cottage to take care of your beloved fur baby. Matilda Rose was treated like royalty, the place is spotlessly clean, the sensory garden is amazing, along with the daily walks (or pram rides) to the park. It was such a relief knowing Matilda was being cared for in such loving, capable hands. Thank you!”

- Matilda Rose’s Mum, Tracee Haks
