For The Dogs

Bowls, towels and treats, as well as blankets to pop on the sofa, will be waiting for your four-legged friends but please bring all other doggy equipment with you.

There’s a Woofer Wash with a warm shower to hose mucky pups, if needed … autumn/winter walks in the countryside can often be a muddy affair.
