We welcome 2 dogs per cottage. We do not accept more than 2 dogs per cottage as we want to ensure that other guests at Wallops Wood Cottages can also enjoy a peaceful holiday. With eight cottages sleeping 54 people, we want to ensure that everyone from 2 legged owners to 4 legged pooches have a safe, happy and fun holiday.

We deep clean all cottages which have dogs after their departure at 9am on changeover days. Therefore cannot accept more than two dogs per cottage, it would be impossible to clean the cottages in time for the next arrivals at 4pm!

Yes you absolutely can! We are really lucky to live and work in this beautiful area of the South Downs National Park.

We have prepared seven walking tours for our guests, laminated sheets of the walks are in the guest information folder in your cottage, and also as a downloadable PDF from our website. o download the walking routes click HERE.

The walking tours last from 30 minutes to 2 hours and we have noted several pub stops along the way. Everyone needs refreshments after a bit of exercise!

Here are some award winning pubs you might enjoy visiting, all of them welcome dogs.

The Shoe Inn Pub in Exton: in spring and summer you can sit by the river Meon

The Baker's Arms in Droxford: a great village with fab Sunday meals for the whole family

The White Lion Pub in Soberton: a traditional 17th century pub with locally sourced food

The Bucks Head in Meonstoke: in picturesque surroundings with local food and great walking all around

We are keen to share our beautiful Meon Valley and all it has to offer. Walkers enjoy the hedges teeming with wildlife, the mad pheasants chasing hens, cows munching greedily on grass and sheep making an appearance in our lanes.

The chalk grassland (the European equivalent of a tropical rainforest) encourages a huge number of butterflies in the Spring and Summer - 60% of the UK's butterfly species can be found in the chalk grassland habitats of the South Downs National Park!

The flora is also rather magnificent here. It can have up to 45 different species of flowering plants and mosses per square metre and we have some rather special orchids growing here too!

The indoor heated pool complex is open from 8am to 8pm every day.

The black fob in your cottage allows entry into the complex. Press against the black plate on the door, and after the beep you can enter. Please remember to keep the fob with you as it will be needed to exit the complex. 

The complex is underfloor heated throughout with showers, an accessible changing room and bathroom, a parent changing room with shower and a separate toilet. And there are lockers so that you can easily change into your swimming costume and put things away.

The pool is level decked and heated to 30-31 degrees Celsius. There's an accessible hoist for disabled guests with choice of sling- or moulded seat. More information HERE.

It will be closed for a couple of hours at a time for cleaning during your stay.

We hope we have thought of most things!
