Bring the whole family —
including the four-legged ones

Pet-friendly rooms open straight onto the garden, so there's space to stretch legs and an easy spot for a morning walk. It's one of the things guests ask us about most — and one of the things we do best.

  • Ground-floor garden access
  • Lawn & courtyard to roam
  • Family rooms that sleep four
  • Friendly, no-fuss hosts

Spotlessly clean, quiet and great value. The garden was lovely and the owners could not have been more helpful.

Perfect base for the wineries and so easy with the dog. Room was simple, comfortable and exactly what we needed.
