Dougal's Dog Blog. Entry 21: Moreton-in-Marsh

After the slight disappointment of Bourton on the Water (2/5 on the Bone Rating) I had high hopes for Moreton in Marsh. The Human That I Own, on the other hand, was less excited. He much prefers the quieter sites like Bourton on the Water to the all-singing all-dancing sites like Moreton in Marsh.

But even he was impressed. Me? I was in Doggy Heaven. Oh goodness me, I loved Moreton in Marsh so much, I don't know where to start.

I guess a good place is the doggy field. Yes, a whole field for us pooches! Oh it was wonderful… I could get the Human to throw a ball for me for as long as I liked, we had such fun!

The walks? Plenty of countryside Walkies Opportunities from directly opposite the site, with no need to teeter along the edges of main roads.

Hostelries? In Moreton in Marsh, it would be a challenge to find a pub that did NOT allow dogs. We tried a couple… the Human rated the pub food as 'average' but I'm not really interested in what he thinks. He said it was the kind of food that you would go out  and enjoy if, like him, you are feeling too lazy to cook for yourself. But it's not the kind of seriously good food that makes you want to go out and eat for the quality and originality of the dishes. That's easy for him to say. It was kibble, as per, for me.

Either way, I give Moreton in Marsh an easy 5 Bones out of 5. I love this site!

There is only one minor downside, and that is that Moreton is in danger of becoming a victim of its own success regarding the Doggie Crowd. During our stay there were, of course, lots and lots of fellow pooches on site. By law of averages, one or two of them were a bit grumpy. And vocal. Very vocal. And the Humans that they owned didn't appear to do a lot about it. That worries this little Jack Russell. I want to go back to Moreton in Marsh again and again. If the mini-minority of Humans are allowing the dogs who own them to make a noise and, even worse, bark incessantly because they've been left alone in the caravan all day (oh yes, shame on the owners indeed!) that's going to spoil it for the vast majority of us responsible dogs.
