Pets

Pets are welcome only with prior notice and approval from the hosts.

When enquiring about a booking, please let us know how many pets you’d like to bring and what type they are. Pets must be accustomed to living indoors. Guests are responsible for looking after the house, its furnishings and the garden. To keep the house comfortable for all guests, including those with allergies, pets are not allowed on beds or sofas.

An additional cleaning fee applies. We’ll let you know the amount before confirming your booking.

We generally accept one pet per stay. We’re happy to consider other requests on a case-by-case basis, depending on the number, type and individual needs of the animals.
