The proprietors

Andy, Pia and Corey

Andy and Pia retired, bought a cottage with a field, and were immediately outnumbered by dogs. Four guests at a time, all living in the house, all walked and swum every day.

Corey is a golden Labrador and Head of Welcome. He runs the meet-and-greets and has strong views on squirrels.

Lately at the club

Photos from the last few weeks. Every member gets their close-up.

How astay works

Three steps, no forms in triplicate. Most members are approved within a day.

  1. 1

    Request

    Pick your dates and tell us about your dog. Vaccinations, vet, and what they're scared of. It takes about three minutes, and nothing is charged yet.

  2. 2

    Meet-and-greet

    New members come for a free hour with Corey and the humans. Nothing is confirmed before this. It's for your dog to have a sniff round and for us to see how everyone gets on.

  3. 3

    Approved

    Andy says yes, you pay a deposit, and the sofa is reserved. You'll get a reminder two days before, and daily photos once the stay begins.

  4. Four guest dogs at a time, never more. If we're full, we'll say so.

Frequentlysniffed questions

Yes. Big dogs are very welcome. There is plenty of room to run, and the sofa has seen worse.

Never more than four guests, plus Corey. Every dog gets a meet-and-greet first, so we know they'll get on.

No. There are no kennels and no crates. Dogs live in the house with us, and sleep wherever they settle.

Daily. Usually mid-swim. Occasionally mid-nap.

Food, lead, any medication, and something that smells of home. We have towels. We have a great many towels.

You request dates, we meet your dog, Andy approves, you pay a deposit. Nothing is confirmed until he says yes.
