A Few Simple Guidelines

To ensure a comfortable stay for all guests, we do have a few simple guidelines in place. Dogs are welcome in Plumtree Cottage, The Lodge, The Stable and The Granary, while all other properties remain pet-free (with the exception of registered assistance dogs). Dogs are not permitted in communal leisure areas, including the indoor pool, games room and activity suite. We kindly ask that dogs are kept under control at all times, are not left unattended for long periods, and that owners clean up after them.
