Looking for pet friendly retirement properties? Pets are welcome with us.
One of the most important questions our customers ask is whether they are able to bring their pets with them. The answer, of course, is yes – we understand that pets become members of the family and well-behaved pets are welcome at Beechcroft developments.
Most Beechcroft homes provide a terrace, balcony, private garden or a combination of these – which pet owners appreciate and our developments are located within easy reach of parks, green spaces and open countryside – so, as a dog owner you’ll have a good excuse to explore.
Pets offer companionship, particularly for those who live alone
Research reveals that pet owners have significantly lower stress levels and better mental health – improving your mood and providing a source of interest – and amusement
Taking your dog for a daily walk ensures you keep fit, without having to spend hours at the gym
Pets are a great way to meet other people – either chatting about your pet or meeting other dog owners during your daily walks.On some developments, dog owners get together for walks
“I was pleased to discover Beechcroft welcomes pets – so many retirement villages don’t allow dogs and I have a six-year-old Cockapoo, named Coco. Of course, finding a home with a garden for Coco was a priority and, at Castle Gardens, I was able to buy a two-bedroom house with a private enclosed garden. Everyone seems dog friendly here; several of the neighbours have dogs and I have been for a few walks with one of them. Coco has settled down well. The first thing that came out of the removal van was her dog bed and she sat in the sunroom like a Queen Bee watching the removals.”

“Although Maryland Place is a delightful place to live, I wouldn’t have moved here if I couldn’t have brought Swanley with me. There aren’t many other pet owners living here at present but some of my neighbours have animals to stay for a week or two when friends and family go on holiday - and it’s nice for them to be able to do that.”
