Please note:

Location

The bungalow is marked on the site plan to the right. The site at the National Training Centre is in constant use throughout the week, and sometimes at weekends. Whilst guests at the bungalow will be able to use the accessible footpath in the field and the enclosed paddock, priority MUST be given to dogs in training and staff pet dogs.

Whilst the nearest village is less than a mile away, the road is unsafe to walk. There is no public transport serving the site so guests will require their own transport.

The location is in easy reach of sites of interest such as the National Memorial Arboretum, Bosworth Battlefield, King Richards Visitor Centre, Chatsworth House, and many more tourist attractions.

Occupancy and suitability

Maximum occupancy for the bungalow is 4 adults, or 3 adults and 2 children, or 2 adults and 3 children. Please note that we are not currently able to provide any baby equipment, although of course, you are welcome to bring your own. Pet dogs can be accommodated by prior arrangement but MUST not be left unaccompanied in the bungalow at any time and proof of current vaccinations will be requested
