Dog Policy 

We have designated rooms that are available to book for guests that wish to bring their dog, these are our two Premier Deluxe Rooms - 'Foxglove' and 'Moringa'. Please call us to make arrangements if you wish to book a room that accommodates you and your dog. There is a £20 per dog, per night charge which includes a dog bed and water bowl.

We have beautiful grounds and local walks for you and your dog to enjoy, they unfortunately can’t have full hotel access to public areas, and they won’t be able to join you in the restaurant, library, drawing room or the spa.

We request that dogs are kept on a lead when in public spaces and that you utilise the dog bins provided when required. We ask that if you leave your dog in your room unattended (only for a little while please) that you advise reception so that any of our team who need to service your room or make deliveries to it are aware. We don’t unfortunately have appropriate facilities for giant breeds.

Guide dogs and accredited assistance dogs are welcome throughout our hotel.

The dress code for the dining room is smart casual, with no jeans or trainers.

Children are welcome to join us in the restaurant until 8.00pm, with last orders being placed by 7.00pm. As well as The Garden Menu for V.I.L.P (very important little people) smaller portions can be enjoyed from any of our 'grown up' menus.
