The thoughtful touches, from the welcome packs to the secure garden and pet-friendly dining, reflect a family's passion for hospitality; I was particularly impressed by its cleanliness and location.

Really good Dog-Friendly Hotel!

dog dressing gown personalised dog bowl personalised bandana
The dog dressing gown was an AMAZING touch. I also REALLY appreciated the personalised dog bowl. It. The welcome pack included a personalised bandana and treats for our dog. A lovely idea. The beautiful room was spacious with a HUGE bed and TV.
I did notice a slight odour preventing the use of the mini fridge.

Lucy provided a warm welcome upon arrival. I would not have been able to sort it without her local expertise. Jet and Sage, the resident dog managers, were super friendly.

Really good Dog-Friendly Getaway!

great selection named gift dog treat hotel room
The room was spacious and very clean. The amenities included a selection of teas, coffees, and treats. I found this a nice touch. I also liked that they have dog visitors in mind. The welcome packs the dogs received were lovely, with named gifts and treats to take away.
I found a slight odour, so I couldn't use the mini fridge.
