We believe that dogs are part of the family and there is no need to leave any four-legged guests behind for your staycation. We have created special packages for overnight stays in our bedrooms that we have designated as dog friendly. Complete with their own doggy bed, blanket, bowl, and welcome box of tasty treats, up to a maximum of two dogs per room can stay with you, where available, for £20 per pet, per night.

    Good atmosphere and friendly staff, very obliging. Clean and tidy room but too hot in the warm weather. Food was good but we thought 15 pounds each for breakfast expensive and the booking site did not appear to offer a continental breakfast...
