Meon Springs Guide for Dogs and Other Animals
Dogs and most other pets are welcome here

Dog in Farm

At Meon Springs, we understand that dogs are part of the family, which is why they are warmly welcomed in our Yurt Village, Shepherd's Huts, and Fly Fishery.

​

We offer comfortable, dog-friendly floors in the authentic Mongolian Yurts and charming Shepherd’s Huts and you are welcome to bring their own bed. (Just a little reminder to keep them off of our beds!)

​

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests, we kindly ask that you keep your dog under control at all times and clean up after them. Additionally, you must have public liability insurance that covers your pet’s actions—this may already be included in your household or pet insurance policy.

 

Local Vets

Should your dog feel unwell during your stay, St. Peter’s Vets in Petersfield is available to provide professional care. You can reach them at 01730 266431 for assistance.

​

With plenty of open space, fresh air, and a welcoming atmosphere, Meon Springs is the perfect retreat for you and your four-legged friend!

"I stayed in a yurt with four girlfriends and two dogs on the weekend of June 10th. The yurt was lovely, plenty of room for us all and the pooches. The Yurtery provided everything we could possibly want that the yurt didn't have. Plenty of room there too with a dining area, lounge area and huge kitchen. All facilities you could possibly want or need.

Outside the yurt was a bench table, hammock and chairs along with a fire pit/BBQ (where we cooked each evening). Lots of room overlooking a most splendid scenery of wheat fields. Lots of logs for burning once the temperature dropped and close to a toilet block.

All the toilets and showers were clean with hot water in the shower and, as a keen camper, I know this isn't always the case on 'sites'.

For me, the fact that my dog didn't have to be tethered was a massive bonus. He hates this! He is a well-behaved dog and didn't bother anyone so I'm sure if your dog is the same this wouldn't be a problem.

The walking was beautiful, rolling fields with no roads or traffic to deal with. I couldn't recommend this place enough if you like outdoor living; made more pleasurable by the great weather we had."

Dog-Friendly Glamping

Dog-friendly glamping blends the outdoor charm of camping with the added luxury of modern facilities, all while making space for your dog to be part of the adventure. At Meon Springs, this means waking up to birdsong, enjoying leisurely waterside walks, and relaxing together in a beautifully appointed yurt or shepherd's hut. It is a chance to swap screen time for green time, without compromising on comfort.

Glamping Accommodation That Welcomes Pets

We offer two main types of pet-friendly glamping accommodation: traditional Mongolian yurts and rustic shepherd’s huts. Both are fully equipped with wood burners, comfortable beds and cooking facilities. Each unit has its own private outdoor space, allowing your dog to rest nearby while you unwind with a book or enjoy the view across the lakes.
