Dogs are more than welcome at Pinewoods.

We have dog-friendly holiday homes for both our lodges and caravans (maximum of 2 dogs) and for an additional fee dogs are welcome on our touring field (maximum of 3 dogs).

Dog breeds covered by the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 are not permitted on the park under any circumstances.

Our rules regarding dogs are as follows:

• Dogs must be kept on a short lead at all times on the Park.
• You must clean up if your animal defecates on the Park.
• The behaviour of your dog must not cause any nuisance, undue noise or disturbance.
• Dogs must be supervised by and under the control of you, or of a responsible adult in your party, at all times. These rules apply even if the dog knows the park well and you believe them to be well behaved.
• No dogs can be left unsupervised in the caravan holiday home or anywhere else on the park at any time. If you do not supervise and control your dog, we are likely to ask you to remove it from the park straight away, as we cannot allow the safety of others to be put at risk. Dogs can not be left under the supervision of any person under 18 years of age.

We support the “North Norfolk Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Dark Skies” by restricting night lighting on the park. Please bring torches as our use of artificial lighting is limited to enable stargazers to see the stunning stars at nighttime.

Please note that the sea wall path between the park and Wells-next-the-Sea is not lit, so make sure that you always have a torch handy!

Please report any damage, shortages or breakages to the Reception Team as soon as possible to allow us time to deal with the matter.

Please note that if a caravan is found in an unreasonable state after a customer leaves we may not accept a repeat booking. We define this as a state that requires “specialist cleaning” or “replacement of furniture/upholstery or carpet due to damage”. This is because we cannot get specialist cleaning or replacement parts to a caravan before the next hire is due to arrive and therefore we have to move or cancel bookings causing disappointment to other customers.

We do!

The beaches at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham form part of a unique landscape, rich in wildlife and one which we need your help to protect. The area is popular with dog walkers throughout the year, and we would like to remind all owners that it is your responsibility to keep your dog under close supervision and control.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your dog does not go into any fenced area on the beach, the dunes, the pine woods or beside any of the Holkham car parks. These areas are fenced off to protect fragile habitats, breeding wildlife and coastal sea defences, as well as your own safety.

Our beaches and the Holkham Nature Reserve are nationally important breeding areas, which means during nesting season additional signage will be in place instructing dogs to be kept on a lead.

You must clean up after your dog and use the dog waste bins provided in the car parks and on the paths to the beach. There are no dog bins on the beaches.

In 2019 palm oil had been washed up on many beaches in Norfolk including Wells and Holkham: this is toxic to your dog. Please remain vigilant and keep your dog in sight and on leads.

Dogs are not permitted on the first 200 yards of Wells Beach. This does not apply to Assistance Dogs.

Help us to keep our beaches beautiful and valuable to wildlife for future visitors by being aware of and following the Coastal Code on your holiday:

• The use of barbecues, fires, stoves and sky lanterns are prohibited.
• The use of drones, kite buggies, surf boards, sand yachts and remote control cars/appliances/gadgets are not permitted on the beach.
• Reduce erosion by keeping to established paths.
• Avoid disturbing birds and other animals. Birds that live on the beach are particularly at risk.
• Leave wild flowers for others to enjoy.
• Play and sit on the beach not the dunes.
• Do not dig in the dunes.
• Use your bicycle but stick to authorised routes.
• Please take your litter home.
• Regarding the National Nature Reserve: Walk on the agreed access routes and do not walk on the farmland or grazing marshes.

Holkham is open to a wide stretch of sea, so anything can be blown or washed ashore. On occasion live ammunition and unexploded bombs have been found about the reserve.

If you do come across a suspicious item leave it well alone and report your discovery to the coast guard by calling 999.
