TESTIMONIALS

Cannot recommend this local business enough! 5 stars is just not enough. Our dog absolutely loves this field and as an owner to a little rascal with zero recall it’s a fantastic feeling to have somewhere you can let him off the lead and feel safe doing so. The field is completely secure, there is a fresh water stream for him to drink out of and just run around and be free. The owners are amazing and came to meet us on our first day. Big dog lovers and so accommodating. Thank you for providing such a safe and large area for our dog, your field is beautiful with such stunning views. We look forward to every visit

Sarah Cornwall

We visited Marsden Mutts today and we had a fab time with our little rascals! It was so nice to be able to have our boys off lead and not have to worry about them!
Our youngest doesn’t have the best social skills with other dogs so today was the first time in a long time where he has had the freedom to explore freely. He was so happy.

Thank you Marsden Mutts, we have 2 worn out pups!

The Holberry Hounds

The dogs absolutely love coming here, it’s a brilliant secure field with lots of different areas to explore and sniff! The pooches love getting their paws wet in the stream at top of the field and always give the obstacle courses a go. Highly recommend! Brilliant communication and such friendly, lovely owners!

If there is someone still exiting, please do not block the entrance to the gate. Our parking area allows for a very maximum of two cars, also a maximum of four people in the field.
