Lovely stay with our 4 legged friend:)
To be honest I was a little surprised that the hotel was so nice after I queried why there was a £20 charge per night for my little dog. I understand charges but this seemed high. Anyway, they didn’t give a horrible room like most hotels when they see a dog, it was definitely pet friendly ( as opposed to so many that are tolerant not friendly) so there was an area where you could sit and have breakfast. Room was nice, shower was great, breakfast was really tasty. No complaints at all.
