Is the garden and field safe for my dogs?
Yes — Little Owls Nest is designed specifically with dog safety and freedom in mind.
• The front door opens onto an enclosed decking area with a 6‑foot fence and secure gate.
• Beyond the decking is your own private, fully fenced field (approx. 6ft high).
• In over 20 years, no dog has ever escaped.
• Ideal for reactive dogs and XL Bullies — the property is detached, private, and set well back from the road.
• No shared spaces, no neighbouring dogs, no foot traffic — just countryside calm.
Your dogs can roam freely while you relax in complete privacy.
