We love dogs

Well behaved dogs are very welcome at a cost of £10 per night.

We own a much loved, friendly Springer Spaniel, called Crotchet, who asks that your dog please remember to

• Be very gentle with my friends and their visitors
• Be quiet when your 2 legged friends have left you for their supper or breakfast (we are not allowed in the dinning room) as there may be others in the next room who want an early night or a lie in
• Wipe your feet when you come into the house (I don’t really know why they have a red carpet!) – just ask if you need a hose down and a towel, there is a tap near the gate and plenty of warm towels in the airing cupboard
• If you are inclined to find your supper or breakfast doesn’t stay in the bowl, please use the protective feeding mat if dining in your room.
• Use the little bags provided for your packages.
• You are more than welcome to stretch your legs in the garden and please feel free to play with my toys. Please only walk along the drive with your people as there is no gate onto Iffin Lane
• Ask my people for a torch, if needed, for late night activities before settling down.

My folks have a large barn for storing your cage if you need.

If you have forgotten to pack your bowl, bed, lead (that’s the usual one!) or food let me know and I will find you one. If your folks haven’t enough room in the car to pack your food, bed, etc let me know in advance and we can arrange to have it provided at a small cost.

In the event of accidentally breaking/damaging something through holiday exuberance please either replace it or let my folks know so they can sort out a replacement

Please don’t feed me as apparently I’m on a strict diet!

PS Have you seen my Blog?
