The garden is not dog proof

We are down a quiet track and well off the road, but - I need to make this completely clear - the garden is not dog 'proof' because it is not fenced in. There may be chickens and hens pecking about the place too. We really hope that we have made all this crystal clear, everywhere. Dogs are very welcome, we love dogs, we will dog sit while you go to Alton Towers or wherever, we have an award for being dog friendly... but we really need there to be no ambiguity... there is no fenced in garden!!!

Large child-friendly garden - but not dog proof! Spot the free range duck posing in the picture! You can see the fencing between us and the neighbours on each side. (2022 update - ducks are no more)

A couple of years back we had a review in which someone was surprised about the garden. I despaired, I am sure we mention it everywhere. So here it is again!! Well behaved dogs and owners are welcome ... but there is no fenced in garden.  So that's that sorted out then!
