We are dog friendly! But ask that dogs don't go upstairs (in the carpeted parts of the property) We can erect a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs if needs be. We don't mind your beloved pooch on the sofa but please do place a blanket down to avoid stains or scratches on fabric. Please utilise the 'dog wash' in the garden to wash muddy paws.

Stairs are steep. Especially the second staircase up to the second bedroom
