π§π½ββοΈMorning moments! π§π½ββοΈ
One of our favourite times of the day is waking our guests and taking them for their first walk of the day β¨
The excitement to get up to the parks for lots of sniffs and zoomies is real! π€
Taking in the peace and quiet, beautiful surroundings and lots of happy pups with a morning coffee is unmatched βοΈπ
This morning felt extra special with the early morning dew, misty sky and a crisp air, autumn is just around the corner and weβre so ready to get that cosy log burner on and make the Hotel all snug! ππ€
πΏ MOVIE AFTERNOONS! πΏ
When the hardest decision of the day is what bed or chair to flop down in after a morning of fun activities π€π€
Rainy afternoons call for lots of snuggles and snoozes at The Hotel πΆπ‘
Any dog movie recommendations welcome πβ₯οΈ
πΏ ENRICHMENT! πΏ
We take enrichment very seriously here at The Cwtch, and itβs a big part of our guests daily routine! ππ»πΎ
After the morning walks and zoomies are out of the way then the pups enjoy some fun sensory games! π€©
Some enrichment favourites include Sensory garden sniffs, snuffle mats, βfind itβ games and stimulating puzzles πͺ΄π«§
Enrichment activities are a great way to release energy whilst building confidence, learning new skills and encouraging calmer behaviours π
The end result? Some very happy, content and snoozy pups, just in time for a chilled movie afternoon in our dog friendly lounge! π€π
πΆ HAPPY PUPS! πΆ
Are you wondering what our days are made up of in our Dog Hotel? π‘
The Cwtch pups are here to show you exactly what they get up to! π€©
All pups enjoy a morning full of activities such as sniffy βfind it gamesβ, off- lead exercise in our secure dog parks and making new friends with Introduction Day guests πΎ
Afternoons call for some chill time in the dog friendly lounge either snoozing in their favourite spots, enrichment games, homemade pupcakes and plenty of cuddles with staff π€π€
After a busy day, all ours guests enjoy a relaxing evening ahead of their bedtime. Movie nights, smooth radio and calming diffusers create a peaceful environment for our guests to wind down after a busy day, ready for more fun tomorrow! π§π½ββοΈπ

Thank you so much to everyone who has came along to look around, and for all your lovely feedback! We are so excited to welcome our first pups tomorrow π€©π€
As many of you know, our Dog Hotel has been a labour of love over the last 12 months, as weβve built it from the ground up with your precious pups in mind with every decision made. Over 8 years ago we had the dream of creating the facilities that we have now and tomorrow we can finally see our complete vision come to life! π₯Ήπ³π‘
A BIG thank you to our Park customers who have supported us along the way, putting up with the continuous construction site, builders coming and going and us having the odd moan about all of the set backs π We appreciate your continuous support! β₯οΈ
Donβt forget, our Secure Dog Parks will still be running as normal, 7 days a week π³π

πΆ CASSIEβS STORY πΆ
Everyone meet Cwtch Pup Cassie and her brothers Cooper & Bertie! πΎ
Cooper & Bertie have been very regular visitors of the Cwtch since we opened and weβve loved getting to know them and their wonderful pawrents on their weekly visits. β₯οΈ
The Cox family fostered Cassie in December last year and quickly realised she belonged with them for forever, so before long she became a fully fledged member of the family, there to stay for good! π€©
Cassie suffers from epilepsy and has for a long time, found the outdoors a very scary place to be! However, Cooper & Bertie have done a great job at showing her the ropes in the park, introducing her to the wonderful smells, games and obstacles that now, arenβt that scary at all! Her favourite thing to do is to run free and play with her big brothers ππ¦΄
The Cwtch has provided a safe and secure place to settle Cassie into her new life, offering a neutral meet up point where she can play, explore and bond with her new brothers! πΆ
βThe Cwtch hasnβt only benefited our dogs lives but mine and my husbands to, in difficult times it has become our sanctuary that gives us that break that is sometimes so needed. A place to switch off and focus in the moment, itβs been great for our well-beingβ. π§π½ββοΈπ³
We are delighted that our secure parks have been able to offer these pups and their pawrents a fun, safe and stimulating place to bond as a family! Weβve loved seeing all 3 pups grow in confidence with each visit, learning that the world can be a fun and loving place for all of them! π₯°π«Ά
Thankfully, changes to Cassieβs lifestyle has meant that her seizures have now reduced dramatically and her confidence is going from strength to strength, go Cass! π₯³
