Pet-Friendly Accommodation at Woodhall

Whether you’re after a luxury lodge with a hot tub, a cosy woodland cabin or a pitch for your caravan or motorhome, we have pet-friendly options across all our accommodation types. Nearly half of our lodges, cabins and glamping pods welcome up to two pets per unit, so the whole family, four-legged members included, can enjoy a proper Lincolnshire break together.

Our pet-friendly accommodation includes:

On-Site for Dogs

We’ve thought about what makes a stay genuinely comfortable for dogs and their owners:

Woodland walks on site

The park sits within 80 acres of peaceful woodland, giving you and your dog beautiful walking routes right from your accommodation, no need to drive anywhere on day one.

Dog wash point

After a muddy walk through the woods or a trip to the Lincolnshire countryside, our on-site dog wash point means your dog (and your lodge) stays clean.

Molly & Bob’s local picks

Check your welcome folder on arrival for our own dogs’ favourite nearby walks and dog-friendly spots, a little local knowledge that makes a big difference.

We do ask that dogs are kept on leads at all times whilst on the park, including outside your accommodation, as our grounds are not fully enclosed.

Dog-Friendly Days Out in Lincolnshire

Woodhall Country Park is brilliantly placed for exploring Lincolnshire with your dog. Here are some of the best dog-friendly days out within easy reach:

  • Woodhall Spa Village – 1 mile. A beautiful Victorian spa village with independent cafes, a deli, a butcher and a greengrocers. Several of the cafes welcome well-behaved dogs, and the village is an easy woodland walk from the park.
  • The Spa Trail. A three-mile traffic-free cycling and walking trail along the old Horncastle to Woodhall Junction Railway, connecting to the Viking Way long-distance route. Access is just a short walk from the park gate, perfect for a long morning with the dog.
  • The Water Rail Way. A 33-mile trail connecting Lincoln to Boston along the River Witham, with access around one mile from the park. Flat, well-surfaced and excellent for dogs of all ages and sizes.
  • Lincolnshire Wolds AONB – 10 miles. Rolling chalk hills and quiet country lanes, with miles of footpaths and bridleways ideal for longer walks with your dog.
  • Tattershall Castle – 7 miles. The National Trust’s magnificent 15th-century brick tower welcomes dogs in the grounds. A great afternoon out.
  • The Village Limits – next door. The award-winning pub right beside the park serves fresh Lincolnshire food and welcomes dogs in certain areas. Ideal for an evening meal without leaving the site behind.

Beautiful park, safer walks. Most plants are harmless, but some common UK plants and wildlife can cause problems for pets if eaten, disturbed or picked up.

Plants to know

The following plants are among the common UK garden and landscape plants that can be harmful to pets. Risk depends on the species, part eaten and amount consumed. Do not allow pets to chew plants or hedge trimmings.

  • Cherry Laurel
    Prunus laurocerasus
    Commonly used for hedging. Harmful if eaten; leaves, fruit/seed material and hedge trimmings should be kept away from pets.
    Safety note: RHS lists Cherry Laurel as harmful if eaten; PDSA includes laurel among plants that can cause serious poisoning.
  • Yew
    Taxus baccata
    A common evergreen with dark foliage and red arils. Yew is toxic if eaten, so keep pets away from fallen foliage and berries.
    Safety note: RHS lists Yew as toxic if eaten; PDSA identifies it among plants that can cause serious problems.
  • Foxglove
    Digitalis purpurea
    The tall pink/purple flower spikes are distinctive. Foxglove is toxic if eaten.
    Safety note: RHS lists Digitalis/Foxglove as toxic if eaten.
  • Rhododendron / Azalea
    Rhododendron spp.
    Popular flowering shrubs. Eating plant material can be harmful to pets.
    Safety note: RHS and PDSA identify Rhododendron/Azalea as harmful or potentially serious if eaten.
  • Ivy
    Hedera spp.
    Often found climbing trees, walls and fences. Ivy can be harmful if eaten and may irritate the skin.
    Safety note: RHS lists Ivy as harmful if eaten and a skin irritant/allergen.
  • Daffodil
    Narcissus spp.
    A familiar spring flower. Eating it can be harmful; bulbs are particularly important to keep away from digging or chewing pets.
    Safety note: RHS lists Daffodil/Narcissus as harmful if eaten; PDSA includes daffodils among plants that can cause serious problems.
  • Lilies — especially for cats
    Lilium spp.
    True lilies are a major concern for cat owners. All parts can be highly toxic to cats and may cause kidney damage.
    Safety note: PDSA warns that all parts of true lilies can be highly toxic to cats and potentially fatal.

Other outdoor hazards

Adder

Vipera berus

The adder is the UK’s only venomous native snake. Dogs may investigate and be bitten if they disturb one, particularly in long grass, woodland or heathland.

A suspected adder bite is an emergency: keep the pet still and contact a vet immediately.

Ticks

Common UK ticks, including Ixodes ricinus

Ticks can attach to dogs and cats when they brush against long grass, woodland vegetation and areas with wildlife. They can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease.

Check pets after walks and remove ticks promptly with a proper tick-removal tool.

After gardening

Please never leave hedge cuttings, uprooted plants or other garden waste where pets can chew them. This is especially important with Cherry Laurel and Yew.

A safer walk around Woodhall

  • Keep dogs from chewing hedges, leaves, berries, bulbs or fallen plant material.
  • Check cats carefully before bringing bouquets or lilies into your lodge.
  • Keep dogs on paths and under control around long grass or areas where adders may occur.
  • Check dogs and cats for ticks after walks, particularly around the ears, neck, legs, groin and between the toes.
  • Dispose of garden cuttings responsibly and keep them away from pets. This is important with Cherry Laurel & Yew.

If you think your pet has eaten a dangerous plant

  • Remove your pet from the area and prevent further access.
  • Do not make your pet vomit unless a veterinary professional specifically tells you to.
  • Photograph the plant or take a safe sample if you can do so without further exposure.
  • Contact your vet promptly — do not wait for symptoms if you know a potentially poisonous plant has been eaten.
  • If your pet is collapsing, having seizures, struggling to breathe or unconscious, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
