Inspired by Millie Moo
Inspired by our own beloved Millie Moo, an IVDD survivor, we’ve created a space that prioritises comfort, safety, and tranquillity. Our home is ideal for dachshunds who’ve recovered from IVDD — whether they’re back on all fours or still finding their wobbly way — and for those who simply prefer a quieter setting.
A Calm, Home‑From‑Home Environment
All dogs stay with us 24/7 and have full access to our secure front and back gardens, woodland corner, and the downstairs of our home. There are no kennels here — just cosy corners, soft beds, and plenty of cuddles. We gently manage group dynamics to ensure a peaceful experience for every guest, so we’re best suited to dachshunds who are calm, sociable, and happy to share space without overly boisterous play.
Safety, Privacy & Location
To keep our guest sausages and our home safe, we only share our full address once a meet-and-greet is confirmed. If you’re genuinely interested in joining the Long Dog Hotel family, we are located in the heart of the Hampshire countryside near Basingstoke. We're happy to provide more specific details when you reach out.

What our customer's say...
A wonderful lady who is full of love for dachshunds and especially for those who suffer with IVDD. Auntie Sausage will send constant updates and videos which are great and made me feel reassured. Her property and grounds are safe and secure. My Lupa suffers with ivdd and Auntie Sausage was totally on the ball when it came to her care in the house or out whilst walking. Lupa is also needy and anxious and again Auntie Sausage was full of warmth and cuddles. Highly recommend.
Carmina
P&D have had a tiral stay with Auntie Sausage and the girls ready for a 2 week stay next year. Auntie Sausage gives the boys all the care, cuddles kisses and attention if not more than they would get at home. Its very far away for us but worth it to know our boys are in very good hands especialy having an IVDD warrior that Auntie Sausage knows how to care for. Cant wait for their next stay!
