Dog Walking Field
We know that dogs are an important part of the family, so we’ve created a dedicated dog walking area within the grounds of Merley House Holiday Park.
The fully enclosed dog walking field is situated at the entrance to the park, just before you get to reception. It’s designed to provide a safe environment for your dogs to sniff and explore.
The field has a gated entrance and can be used 24 hours a day. It is approximately 3.5 acres in size, which means there is plenty of space for your four-legged friend to run and play to its hearts content. All that we kindly ask is that you pick up after your dog and dispose of any waste in the bins provided.
Dog friendly holiday park
Of course, dogs are more than welcome around the rest of the site, but they must be kept on a lead at all times. Many owners choose to do a lap of the park, particularly in bad weather! The roads surrounding our lodges and holiday homes are all tarmacked, so you won’t have to worry about muddy paws!
In front of Merley House there is a lovely landscaped area with beautiful flower beds and seating, which makes the perfect mid walk pit stop! If you’re in the mood for something a bit more strenuous, the Castleman Trailway is just a short walk from the park. This picturesque route follows the old Southampton to Dorchester railway line and is approximately 16 miles long. Along the way you can admire a variety of landscapes, including Heathland and Forests.
If you don’t mind travelling a little bit further afield, there are some excellent dog walks nearby. We highly recommend venturing to Badbury Rings or an early morning walk along the River Stour.
Merley is a dog friendly holiday park and we’re delighted to welcome up to 2 dogs per holiday home. Dogs must not be left unattended in your holiday home. We unfortunately do not permit cats on-park.
