At  Center Parcs we know that pets need breaks too, and it can be fun to bring them with you; however, the only pets we allow at our villages are dogs, and there is limited capacity so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Please read our terms and conditions headed F18 Dog/Pets

To check availability, when entering the number of guests in the party the option to bring a dog will be at the bottom.

Ticks can be present in forest/grassy environments, please take care.  For more information, please click here Dogs and wildlife

We also have Pet Friendly Restaurants / IE, pet friendly restaurants available at all our villages.

Dogs (except assistance dogs) are not permitted in any building except specific dog lodges and certain restaurants. They must be kept on a lead at all times when outside your accommodation, and you must ensure they use the designated dog toilet areas. We do not accept any dogs listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act. You must ensure that:

• As a minimum, each dog has a current annual vaccination for distemper, canine hepatitis, leptospirosis and parvo virus; 
• Each dog is properly supervised, is not dangerous and does not cause a nuisance or threat to anyone; 
• When our staff need to visit your accommodation (eg. if you have requested a maintenance engineer) you take your dog(s) out or keep them in a different room while these visits take place and comply with any specific instructions provided to you. 

If we, in our sole and reasonable discretion, consider your dog to be dangerous or to be causing a nuisance, harm or threat to anyone, or to be likely to do so, we may ask you to remove it from the village (without refund or compensation) or have it removed to kennels at your expense. No other pets are permitted.
