We must insist on a few house rules to keep all of our resident guests, local residents and surrounding livestock safe and happy. Please do not leave your dogs unattended at any time either inside the property or the garden. Depending on the size and temperament of dog we cannot take responsibility should they manage to breach the garden enclosure. Please keep your dogs on a lead on our estate unless enclosed in your private garden. Please make sure you clean up after your dogs and place their bags inside a bin liner in your designated outside bins. Dogs are not permitted in the river due to spawning fish and other wildlife, unless in the ONLY designated area which is in front of Butterwell main house in between the two trees where the picnic bench is (still keeping your dogs on the lead). Please do not leave your dogs inside the property unattended at any time. Please do not allow your dogs on the furnishings. Please try to remove dog hairs from carpets and rugs before your departure. Please do not use baths or showers to clean your dogs - there is an outside hose for this purpose. Please ensure your dogs are free from parasites and fleas before entering the property. Failure to do so will incur subsequent charges. Please be aware that we are surrounded by livestock and other village residents, horse riders and cyclists pass by on our rural lane and the Camel Trail often with other dogs. We kindly ask you to take full responsibility for controlling your dogs in this environment. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation. We operate a self-check in and self-check out system – your key will be in the door on arrival. We strongly recommend that you take out holiday cancellation insurance. We cannot make exceptions or cancel a holiday outside of our standard cancellation policy if one of your party, for example, contracts coronavirus, falls ill or gets injured, has to take up jury service, cannot get fuel, has a family emergency or bereavement, etc. To cover yourself in all of these circumstances, as well as others, we strongly recommend holiday insurance is taken out against these eventualities. These are all events outside of our control as a holiday provider and we are unable to compensate you in these circumstances.
