Lovely lodge, very clean and the best one we have stayed at for accessories. I cannot think of anything else we could have needed. Dog friendly often just means dogs allowed but this was excellent for accommodating dogs with lovely little extras like shampoo, towels and throws. The walks in

Perivale Lodge is in a lovely quiet location, the only noise is the occasional whistle of the steam trains which run from just across the road. The main accommodation is on the first floor above a double garage frontage. All the windows are Vellux style roof windows so personally I found it a bit dark and it’s a shame not to have more views of the wonderful garden and surrounding forest. We were able to keep the kitchen door open to enjoy the forest view as the weather was mostly kind to us. The patio and lawned garden are completely secure so great for dogs. The only problem our dog had was the metal staircase into the garden. Although rubber mats have been added she managed to get her paw caught and was very cautious after that. Very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great for active dogs as you can walk straight onto forest trails from the garden.
