Kim & Chris Ewen

We are SO excited to welcome you to our home! As the founders of XL Escapes, we pour our hearts into creating a space where you can relax, unwind, and make lasting memories.

​

With two rescue dogs—Holly from Bosnia and Buddy from All Bullie Rescue—and Nala, our beautiful ginger cat (and undisputed Queen of the house), we understand how important it is to feel not just at home, but truly content and relaxed—especially when traveling with your furry companions.

​

Our goal is to offer more than just a holiday; we want to provide a home away from home where you can escape daily pressures, have a laugh, and enjoy quality time with loved ones. Whether it’s a cosy night in, exploring the local area, or simply making time for yourself, we’re here to make your stay special.

​

If you have any requests—big or small—just let us know. We’re always happy to help (and we love an excuse to bring a smile to your face, drink in hand, of course!).

Meet Your Hosts

I am a licensed breeder and exhibitor of large breeds, and the Alaskan Malamute in particular can be misunderstood by many people. They're notoriously poor at recall as part of the breed, so off-lead exercise in public can be stressful and limited. We were fortunate enough to have the space to create this field with one of our Malamutes, Fabio — also known as "The Beast" — in mind. At nearly 60kg, he was our biggest and strongest dog and was never able to safely enjoy a proper free run. That's how the dog garden came to life. We believe dogs should be able to enjoy life safely and without judgement, regardless of breed. We firmly believe in judging the deed, not the breed, and welcome every dog.

XL Escapes Peace Of Mind Promise

Every business you see on XL Escapes has confirmed to us that they welcome XL Bullies. Before being listed, we ask the questions we'd want answered ourselves — from real experience living and travelling with XL and reactive dogs. That includes confirming they are happy to host XL Bullies, that their listing details are accurate, and that they've considered their own legal and insurance responsibilities. We don't assume. We don't guess. We ask — and they confirm. If anything changes or a business doesn't stand by what they've told us, we take it seriously. If a business listed on XL Escapes turns you away because of your dog's breed, contact us. We will review it, remove them if necessary, and refund your membership.

Home Rules & Useful Information

Lapema Dog Garden

⚲ Offenham, Evesham

Secure 1-acre private hire field · 6ft solid wooden fencing · Exclusive use · Reactive dogs welcome

Using solid 6ft wooden lapped fencing, this secure exercise field welcomes all dogs and is especially suited to reactive or nervous dogs, or those unable to free run in public. The field is available for private hire seven days a week.

Full Property Description:

Set in a village location, Lapema Dog Garden was originally created as an enrichment space for our own Alaskan Malamutes and Labradors. These breeds can happily go over, under or through many types of fencing, and our Malamutes proved to be expert climbers, so wire fencing simply wasn't an option for us. We recognised there was a need for people to safely and securely train and exercise their dogs, so we opened the field for individual hire. The field is never shared between multiple customers at the same time — it is exclusively yours for the duration of your booking. Unlike many secure fields, you receive your full booked session. We don't ask customers to leave early to fit bookings in every hour. Instead, we leave a 10-minute gap between every booking, whether you've booked 30, 45 or 60 minutes. We want to help avoid unwanted encounters when arriving or leaving. We welcome all dogs — big or small, social or not. Every dog is different, and every dog deserves the chance to run freely in a safe, secure environment without judgement.
