  • HI there, I notice it says 'pets allowed'. We have a small dog. Do you have a room which would be suitable for us? She is fully house trained, but it would be preferable to have a room on ground level so we can let her out when we need. Alos, is the kitchen is available for self catering? Thanks
    Hi, yes we do accommodate pets, I have only single room on ground floor, but I do not do self catering, only B/B, Regards Breege
