Frequently Asked Questions


I’m bringing my dog, is the garden enclosed?

The whole property is fenced or hedge-lined the whole way round. However, it is 1.7 acres including woodland, a ravine with a stream and our timber yard and workshop, so do keep an eye on your dog! We have a gate at the bottom of the drive which you can close once you’ve driven up to the house. There is a hedge between the workshop and the house but if your dog is an escape artist (or it’s winter and there’s less greenery) they might be able to squeeze through. When Jonny is working in the yard he often has our dog Col with him (border collie) who is very friendly, but we appreciate not all dogs like other dogs! Please be mindful that our neighbours are fields of sheep on all three sides so please don’t let your dog harass them, particularly in spring when they will be pregnant.

We are a group of 6 but have an extra friend/child - is there space for one more?

We only have 3 double bedrooms so the house is really set up for 6. However, if you have a 7th small person we do have a single futon which we can make up in the master bedroom or the smaller sitting room for a small extra fee.

Do you allow more than one dog?

We allow two well-behaved dogs, any more than that needs to be agreed with us on an individual basis and we do charge a small extra fee.

Can I bring my cat?

Yes this is a question we’ve had! And yes you can, we are generally pet friendly so if you have any other animals you want to bring please get in touch!
