How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 16 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.6/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet policy at a glance
- One small dog is allowed.
- Puppies are not accepted.

Pet-friendly summary
The Foxes Den is a single shepherd's hut on Corner Farm at Oldbury-on-Severn, a quiet corner of South Gloucestershire between Bristol and the Severn. You take the hut and its patch of the farm to yourselves, so there is no lobby to cross, no corridor to share and no other guests for a dog to react to - you park, unlock, and let them work the place out at their own pace.
The welcome for dogs is a practical one. Dogs arrive to find bowls, a dog towel and a few treats already put out, which is more than most self-described pet-friendly places manage. The hosts are the other constant in reviews: hands-on, quick to check in by phone, and willing to help when the weather turns.
The farm setting shapes the rules, and they are worth knowing before you book rather than after. One small dog only, and no puppies. Chickens, cockerels and pygmy goats are kept nearby, so dogs have to stay on a lead anywhere on the farm, and the garden around the hut is not enclosed. That combination rules out a dog who cannot be trusted around livestock, and makes this a poor fit for anyone hoping to open a door and let a dog run.
What you get instead is quiet. The hut is properly off-grid and set well back from main roads, wrapped in fields and footpaths, so walks start at the door and the loudest thing most mornings is a cockerel. A wood burner warms the space in minutes, which matters when you come back muddy. One practical warning comes up repeatedly: sat-nav tends to send cars to the neighbouring farm, so follow the hosts' directions rather than the postcode.
It earns a 4.5/5 paw rating. Best suited to a couple with one small, steady dog who is reliable around chickens and goats and content on a lead outdoors - and who would rather have a wood burner and a field than a hotel corridor.
