All Dogs Welcome at Rill House | Unlimited Dogs & Fully Enclosed Garden

Rill House in South Devon welcomes unlimited dogs everywhere in the house. Enjoy a fully enclosed garden and stress-free dog-friendly holidays.

As dog owners and lovers ourselves, we understand how important it is for you to find somewhere to stay that welcomes your dogs we brought Rill House with ours in mind, and we know yours will love it as much as they do! 

Unlimited dogs are welcome, all breeds no restictions, to stay, we don't even ask what breed they are, why would we? 

The response from our Local Authority regarding us welcoming dogs registered under the Exempted Dogs Register is that "if the gardens are secure and for the sole use of the occupiers of the holiday accommodation, then you would not have to insist that owners muzzle and lead their dogs as it would not be considered a public place." 

For full details see here as 'secure' is subjective and very dependant on the dog and so it is for dog owners to decide of it is 'secure' for their dog

All this space is for our guests and their dog's exclusive use.

Rill has a fully enclosed garden and courtyard (if you have any queries, please do contact us either via our Facebook page or contact us on here as we understand you want to be sure).

The large enclosed courtyard on one side has the house, the 2nd side has a wall over 6ft, the 3rd side is a wall with a solid gate a minimum of 5ft, the 4th side has a stream with a low wall and a garden gate into the huge enclosed garden. The external walls of the garden are stone walls with bushes in front and 4ft, the 5 bar gate is covered in fine mesh to the ground. One side is 4ft high rabbit fencing with a hedge in front.

There are more details on this page Garden as well.

Dogs on Sofas & Beds are very welcome

We welcome dogs in every room, but if yours do not go upstairs at home, we know it could be confusing for them at Rill, so we have a retractable stair gate.

If your dogs sleep on beds, please let us know, as we will remove all our bedding from the beds they will be sleeping on, including duvets, and you will need to bring your own. We will always provide pillows. Or for a small charge to save on packing space, you can use our duvets (you still need to bring your own bed linen).

We know that dogs can 'take a wrong turn' sometimes when they are somewhere new so for your peace of mind we loan you holiday dog tags to add to your dog's collars during your stay. Please do not leave them in the house alone, after all, they are on holiday as well, we do provide details for a local dog sitter who will come to the house to look after your dogs if you do wish to go out without them.

We have lots more details for your dogs in this section of our online guidebook

Our online guide book was created by us for both your holiday home but also the South Hams area of South Devon, which is a really dog-friendly area so you can start to plan your holiday straight away. All the recommendations are for dog-welcoming places to eat, shop, walk, visit, and of course, beaches.

We know that some dogs just can't walk the distances they want to for a number of reasons, and that dog buggies take up a HUGE amount of room in your car, so we provide a dog stroller for them to use during their stay. More details can be found in our online Welcome Folder/Guidebook

We have two village dog-welcoming pubs, both a short stroll from the house, that welcome dogs and serve great food. The South Devon region is well known for how dog-friendly it is, and nearly all the local pubs, cafes, restaurants, and shops welcome dogs. Do take a look at our local area section in our guide book 

Our local dog friendly beach is just half a mile walk/drive from the house, 3m long and dog-friendly all year round. We are spoilt for choice with dog-friendly beaches so take a look at our beach section in our guide book 

We love to see photos of your dogs on holiday, please do share them with us.

Our dog charges are £25pw for up to 2 dogs then £25pw per dog for each additional dog up to 5 dogs and no additional charges for any further dogs, so capped at a £100 max. The more dogs that stay the more our changeover team is paid. Dog guests must be over 6 months of age at the time of the holiday, house trained, clean, no bitches in season, and please up to date with flea prevention treatment.

There are no charges for registered assistance dogs, current or retired Police, or Military dogs, contact us for more details.
