Secure, safe spaces to enjoy the countryside with your four legged friends!

Welcome

Dogs have always been at Holly Lodge Farm; Jack Russells, Weimaraners, Cocker Spaniels, Border Terriers and now a Norfolk Terrier – Basil! We have lots of space and great walks on our doorstep, but with new puppies to train and bring up, we ventured to our local training classes and found that many people are frustrated with the lack of space where they can take their dogs off their leads and let them run free, hence Holly Lodge Dog Fields was born!

After 5 amazing years running our fields near Alconbury we are now expanding to new locations! Stay tuned with us this spring to find out where our next location will be!

Secure Dog Paddocks

Our paddocks provide an area where many different dogs can practice their training, feel safe and secure from other dogs or simply run free with the wind in their ears.

In order to provide all of our customers with the full amount of time that they have booked, we offer 1 hour sessions in the field. This hour includes a full 50 minutes of play time and 10 minutes at the end of the session for owners to clear up any toys, pick up after their dogs, and vacate the car park in time for the next customer. We ask this of our customers so that everybody has exclusive use of the paddocks.

Our Paddocks

The dog paddocks were created to provide safe spaces for dog owners to come and enjoy the countryside with their four-legged friends, without the worry of other dogs or people. The purpose-built fields are the perfect place to bond with your furry friends.

The paddocks are located on our farm just outside of Alconbury (PE28 5XZ), Cambridgeshire. Click the link below for our location.

Bank holiday snaps from @ripley_and_rico_the_cavalier ❤️ We’ve had a tap area tidy up in South Paddock today, along with spraying off some nasty weeds in the gateway, and filling in some holes in the track! 

After nearly 8 months of maternity leave it was time to get the Dad and daughter team back in action to start our yearly maintenance, and get back on top of some of the important jobs that need doing!

“Such a lovely place. Paddocks are perfect for dog owners (PLEASE pick up after your dog - costing a fortune in bags when we visit) and the cafe provides really nice food. Outside area of cafe great in summer with a play area.”

“Went to the soft play today with some friends and I really enjoyed my visit. My baby is a 9 month crawler and had a great time. It’s not a big soft play but that made it perfect for my little one as he is much too little for some of the bigger places. The staff were friendly and the coffee was delicious. I needed to get home as it was nap time but I bought a sausage roll and treat from the main cafe on the way out. Again delicious and it just generally looked a wonderful cafe. I will definitely be returning to the soft play and hope to also return to enjoy the main cafe properly too.”
