Dog Friendly
We have received the
Quality in Tourism
Welcome Pets Award
at Highfields
Highfields is pure ‘Doggie Heaven’! There are a huge variety of different walks and scents within the park itself, from the extensive woodland trails to the winding meadow paths. We also have further meadowland where dogs can be let off the lead to run free.
‘Wardens’ dog Snowy enjoying a roam
Whether you are a holidaymaker (see the ODE to Highfields, written by Mr & Mrs Darby) or Holiday Home Owner, you are welcome to bring your dog/s with you and enjoy the countryside surroundings. We all (Park Owners & Staff) have dogs ourselves so we understand the desire to have a great holiday with your pets.
For Dog Friendly holidaymakers, we warmly welcome dogs in the Woodside Lodge and Caravans. Each dog is charged for their stay and this is payable please upon booking. For those who do not have dogs, we have the Park View Lodge where we don’t allow pets at all. However, the dog-friendly accommodation is meticulously cleaned after every guest to a very high standard of cleanliness and freshness so is great to book either with pets or without.
Approximately 50% of our Holiday Home Owners bring dogs with them when visiting the park, or have family who bring their pet. Very few parks are as pet friendly and suitable as Highfields. In fact, a lot preclude dogs altogether.
Maggie roaming in the nature reserve
Whilst the park is really great for dog-lovers and provides miles of walks without leaving site, there are also lots of wonderful walks nearby in the Lincolnshire countryside and woodlands. Even the Coast is not too far by car and is lovely to visit out of season when dogs are allowed to run on the beach.
‘Managers’ dog Monty keeping an eye out
Some of our local Pubs and Eateries also allow dogs, some in the Beer Gardens and some in the Bar, so going out for an evening meal or Sunday afternoon pint is as enjoyable for your dog/s as it is for you!
We were delighted recently when Mr & Mrs Darby came for their holiday with their two retired Greyhounds Phoebe & Oliver and presented us with the following:-
