Welcome to The Golden Retriever Experience

For those who don't/can't own a dog, The GRE gives you the opportunity to have a couple of hours of dog-filled fun; from doggy cuddles to playing fetch.

If you've been considering dog ownership, why not find out what it's really like with us before making that big commitment.

Golden Retrievers are renowned to be one of the most gentle and intelligent breeds, and that's why we entrust them to get you over your fear of dogs within our specially controlled environment.

Have you lost a pet or loved one recently? Or know someone who has? Many people who are bereaving find it very therapeutic coming to The GRE because they are reminded of the joys of having had their pet and receive the healing love and attention they've been missing. 

If you need some time out of your busy lifestyle, The GRE is perfect for you! We're based in the quiet countryside of Exmoor National Park, surrounded by rolling hills with a 10 minute walk to the beach.

The GRE is a great way to spend your Valentine's day, birthday, anniversary or any other special occasion! Makes a perfect Wedding Gift and we do Gift Certificates. You can book out our grounds (dogs included of course) for up to 6 hours of dog-filled fun.
