Dogs are very welcome to join you during your visit to Hazlewood Castle. Many guests enjoy being outdoors with their pets, and having your dog along can add to the overall experience. For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, dogs must always remain on a lead, and owners are expected to clean up after their pets.
We also ask that dogs are well-behaved and comfortable around groups of people and other dogs. If your dog is nervous or excitable in busy settings, it might be worth considering whether they’ll be happy during your visit. By following these simple guidelines, you and your dog can enjoy a relaxed and positive experience.
