Find out when The Vyne is open, how to get here, the things to see and do and more.
We love dogs at The Vyne and you’re more than welcome to bring them with you when visiting. Although the house is just for humans, there's plenty of outside space for you to enjoy together. We also have a dog-friendly indoor seating area available on the ground floor of the tearoom and four-legged friends are welcome in the shop.
We’ve been working on making it easier for you to find out how dog-friendly your visit will be before you and your four-legged friend arrive. To help with this, we've created a new pawprint rating system and given all the places in our care a rating. You can find this information in the National Trust members’ handbook.
The Vyne is a three pawprint rated place, there are dog bowls, places for walks and dog-friendly indoor seating in the Brewhouse tea-room. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
Dogs on leads are welcome outdoors everywhere except the children’s play area just off the Lime Avenue. This means you're free to explore the garden together.
Dogs are also welcome in the downstairs seating area of the Brewhouse tea-room. We suggest you have at least two people in your group so one of you can take a seat with the dog, while the other orders the food and drink in the servery. Dogs are also welcome in the shop.
The estate at The Vyne is classified as a nature reserve so please keep your dog on a lead at all times. This is to make sure they don’t chase other animals, run off into the undergrowth or jump into the lake.
Only assistance dogs are allowed into the house, the servery area and first floor of the tearoom and children’s natural play area.
We’ve worked with our partner Forthglade to come up with this Canine Code, which helps to make sure everyone can enjoy their day:
Our definition of close or effective control is:
Dog waste bins are located by visitor reception, on the Lime Avenue and on the path out to the bird hide in the garden. Please bear this in mind when planning your walks.
You'll find water available in a dog bowl at Visitor Reception and outside the Brewhouse tea-room.
Dogs are welcome in the ground floor seating area of the Brewhouse tearoom. We suggest you bring min two people in your group so one of you can sit with the dog while the other orders the food and drink in the servery area.
You’re welcome to bring your canine companion to any outdoor picnic table in the garden apart from those in the children's play area.
