  • Hi. A bit of an odd request, but would you allow us to stay the night with our two house cats, by any chance? Our teenage son is wanting to celebrate his birthday with his friends and wants us out of the way! We wouldn't want to traumatise the poor cats by leaving them behind.
    Hi, thanks for your enquiry although I'm sorry but we are unable to accept cats. Hope you get sorted with somewhere. Kindest Regards, Wendy
