Cardiff Gate Secure Dog Field Hire

05/03/2024

We have made the decision to temporarily close the field due to the awful amount of rain we have had and the need for improvements and maintenance.

If you have any bookings currently active, you will be contacted individually IF we have to cancel your booking. If you don't hear from us then you can assume your booking is going ahead. But as of today, 5th March 2024, no new bookings will be taken until we reopen.

We are hoping to reopen again in May 2024 with a new website and further improvements to the field and plenty of additional facilities for the dogs.

All bookings that have or might be cancelled will be refunded. Refunds can take upto 5 business days to appear on your bank statements.

Thanks for your understanding and we look forward to showing off the new field facilities :-)

Due to maintenance around the field and carpark, weekends are closed until Saturday 17th June. Weekday bookings that have been made are still confirmed.

You can still make bookings for The weeks ahead :-)

Good morning. It seems that the M4 JCT30 is closed (3rd July), we do not know exactly what the situation is with regards to traffic and road closures. However, we would advise that you double check your route and consider alternative routes in if necessary 🙂

Good morning! It appears that there's been a collision in the main lane coming from the M4 which is currently blocking the lane. You will need to use the alternative lane through Pontprennau/Lisvane.

**UPDATE: Lane is now clear**

A space has become available this morning at 10am(1 x 1 hour or 2 x 30 minutes) from a cancellation. If you'd like to book a slot at this time then please follow the 'Book Now' link.

It's set to be a beautiful weekend aswel 🌞

We can now confirm that our booking system should be back up and running. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience.

Please remember that to help give all users the chance to use the facility we do have a 6 week booking limit 🙃

Have a great day 😊

We are getting lots of emails regarding difficulties in booking. At the moment we cannot see any issue with the system but we are still investigating. Please bear with us whilst we investigate and we will update here.
Very sorry if this is causing any inconvenience.

We've had a few people turn up on the wrong days, so we have now introduced a text reminder service when you book and also a list of who has hired the field. This sign can be found behind the "Please wait here sign" near the entrance. Please refer to this before entering to ensure your booking is correct.

Hope this helps everyone :-)

30/01/2021

Due to significant rain fall and a very saturated dog field we have decided to close it for this weekend (30th - 31st January) to give it some rest. We know that for many of you the field is your safe place with your dog and we are sorry to have to close it, but the ground has already been taking a lot of footfall and is already churned up quite a lot.

You should have received an email regarding the closure and what you can do next. Please respond via email.

Once again, sincere apologies ad we look forward to seeing again shortly :-)

It's a beautiful day to be using the field today, a bit slushy but beautiful skies! 🌞

We would like to share with you our '2 Late Strike' policy, if we have reports of users leaving the field late or if we spot users leaving after their alloted time we will restrict their use of the field for 4 weeks. You have 2 strikes, on the second strike we will restrict your use, all future bookings will be cancelled and you will not be able to book for 4 weeks.

Please use the following email to report any field misuse and we will log and discuss the misuse with the reported user.

[email protected]

You are reminded that you MUST vacate promptly and be OUT of the field BY your end time, not after. Ofcourse there is no immediate rush to leave the car park, just the field.

We hope you all understand that punctuality is important in other users having fair use.

Thank you in advance,

CGDF
