Welcome to Laydee’s Lounge
Laydee’s Lounge is a private, secure dog exercise area that is mainly tarmac, with a smaller grassed area and young trees. Each booking gives one household exclusive use, with room to move, train, play and decompress at their own pace.
A work in progress: Rubbish clearance is still ongoing. Book a free look-around visit with Jo to see the area before deciding whether to book a paid session.
Every booking lasts 25 minutes. The 5-minute gap that follows lets Jo reset and check the space before the next visitor arrives.
In Laydee’s memory
Laydee was Jo’s much-loved dog friend. Laydee’s Lounge carries her name, with her gentle spirit at the heart of the space.
