Dogs
Up to a maximum of two well behaved dogs can be accommodated in The Boot Room by prior arrangement. We request dogs are not left unattended at any time.  Dogs must always be kept under control and kept on a lead around livestock. Any dog fouling / faeces in and around the house grounds must be cleared without delay and it is the dog owner’s responsibility, not that of the housekeeping team.  Any additional cleaning required will be charged.
There is a £20 charge per dog.

There are also outdoor kennels available.

The trust who owns Delnabo has a clear focus on the conservation of red list species, and at certain times of year it is not possible to walk dogs off the lead on the estate, especially during Spring and early Summer months when ground nesting birds, curlew, lapwing, oyster catchers, red grouse etc are hatching, and sheep and cattle will be lambing and calving with lambs and calves at foot.  During these periods, the estate kindly request that guests (and estate employees) do not walk their dogs on any part of the estate and are only allowed use the circular on the metalled public road and Avenue to the Lodge. This way the owners hope that the least disturbance will create the best possible chance for bird assemblages to fledge and thrive.
