Conduct

To ensure all our guests have an enjoyable stay at Griffon Forest and dogs continue to be welcome, please make note of the conditions.

At Griffon Forest we have allocated a number of dog friendly lodges for you to enjoy staying in. Dogs are only welcome in these lodges so please make sure you book the correct lodge. Dogs are not permitted in Hunters lodges.
The charge for dogs to stay is £60 per dog per week & short break. For visitors with multiple dogs we allow a maximum of 2 dogs per lodge.
Dogs are not allowed in bedrooms or on any of the furniture (especially those nice comfy sofas).
Dogs are not to be left unattended in lodges at any time unless secured in a cage. A limited number of cages are available for hire from reception.
Please respect the privacy of other Griffon Forest guests. Dogs have to be kept on a lead around the lodges, as running in to other lodge gardens is not allowed.
Please don’t disturb or chase the wildlife that you may meet on your walks.
Guests are asked to clean up after their dogs, both inside and outside the Lodge. Failure to do so will incur a cleaning charge, deducted from your security bond.
Please note that there may be occasional firework displays on or near our estate throughout the year.
