ANXIOUS OR REACTIVE DOG? Not a problem. We've fostered and adopted many rescue dogs over the years, so are aware of the issues. We want your holiday to be as relaxing as possible for you and your non human companions. The cottage is detached, with no neighbours close by and has excellent new double glazing, so if your dog has a tendency to be vocal, it's not a issue. The gardens are well fenced with stock proof fencing, lined with high, dense hedges. Being on a quiet country lane, there's very little passing traffic. We have dogs, but the holiday cottage garden is not adjacent to any area with dogs and our garden is far enough away that guests dogs won't be able to see our dogs. PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO DAMAGE IN THE PAST BY YOUNG DOGS, WE DON'T ACCEPT DOGS UNDER 12 MONTHS OF AGE. Sorry, we don't allow cats to stay either.
