About Bonnie Dogs Fields, Balcombe

Bonnie Dogs Fields, a private dog walking field near Balcombe in West Sussex, offers two exclusive-use paddocks on a tranquil site overlooking Ardingly reservoir. Each field covers approximately four acres of grassland, fully enclosed by 6ft fencing, giving reactive, nervous or anxious dogs space to run off-lead away from the public. The setup is popular with owners whose dogs struggle in busy places: one owner whose reactive dog finds car-to-field transitions stressful describes the car park inside the secure area as "a game-changer", and feedback describes the quiet, secluded atmosphere as a key draw. The first paddock, The Woodland, features two grass areas divided by a small woodland copse with a short on-lead link walk in between. The second, The Drive-in, brings you straight into the field from your car. Both fields are hired solo, one party at a time, and owners mention the generous space. One visitor noted the field "felt like a walk and not a pen", while others describe it as spacious, big, and beautiful. Water bowls, poo bins, toys and easy parking are included, and the site is well maintained with close to perfect reviews on Google. The fields are open every day and booked via a gate code sent on payment. Popular with owners of reactive dogs and rescue dogs building confidence, Bonnie Dogs Fields is among the highest-rated secure dog fields in West Sussex.

What Customers Say on Google

Reactive-Dog

The car park inside the secure area is a game-changer for reactive dogs, no stress getting from car to grass. Fencing is excellent and the setup clearly suits dogs that struggle in busy places.

Space

Felt like a walk in the countryside rather than a flat rectangle. The wooded area in the middle and big space make it far better than other secure dog fields visited.

Location

Beautiful spacious setting with plenty to sniff and explore. Away from the road in a quiet place, with easy access and clear communication from the owner.
