At Meon Springs, we know that a countryside break isn’t complete without your four-legged friend. That’s why our Yurts and Shepherd’s Huts are proudly dog friendly, giving you and your pup the perfect place to relax, recharge, and explore the beauty of the South Downs National Park together.
A Perfect Base in the South Downs National Park
Nestled right in the heart of the South Downs, Meon Springs sits directly on the South Downs Way, one of the most scenic walking routes in the UK. From your door, you can head straight onto endless footpaths that wind through rolling hills, woodlands, and open farmland — ideal for long rambles, energetic hikes, or gentle strolls with your dog.
There are countless local routes to discover from the farm itself. Whether you fancy a short circular walk through the Meon Valley or a full-day adventure exploring nearby villages and viewpoints, you’ll find something to suit every pace (and paw).
Dog-Friendly Stays at Meon Springs
Our Yurts and Shepherd’s Huts make the perfect rural retreat for dog owners. Each one offers a cosy, comfortable space to unwind after a day of exploring — and we welcome well-behaved dogs to join you. Surrounded by open countryside and peaceful farmland, there’s plenty of room for your pup to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air.
Relax at Our Dog-Friendly Café
After your walk, why not stop by our Meon Springs Café? It’s a dog-friendly haven where muddy boots and wagging tails are always welcome. We always keep a freshwater bowl outside for thirsty pups, and you can enjoy a coffee, cake, or light lunch while your dog relaxes by your side.

Explore Beyond the Farm
There’s no shortage of dog-friendly attractions and pubs nearby too. The surrounding villages are full of welcoming spots where dogs are part of the family. Whether it’s a riverside pint, a visit to a local vineyard, or simply watching the sunset over the Downs, you and your furry friend will be spoilt for choice.
So why leave your dog behind?
At Meon Springs, your canine companion is not just allowed — they’re part of the adventure. Come and discover the joy of a truly dog-friendly countryside escape in the South Downs National Park.
