Robin's Nest nice piece of tranquility
Dear Eryn,
Thanks for your feedback on the Robin's Nest and our dog policy.
The reason we put restrictions on leaving dogs alone in the cabins is because we have had a few bad experiences with dogs getting very agitated when their families left them alone in unfamiliar surroundings, and in turn harming themselves and the cabin. I am sorry that I did not clue-in when you mentioned that you were bringing a dog and planning on going golfing. I should have recognised that there would be a problem. To avoid this in the future I will put out dog policy on this site. We can also offer a wooden gate that our guests can put across the porch steps for those dogs that are ok with being left alone.
Thanks for your kind words about the Robin's Nest and we're glad that you enjoyed the trails and surroundings.
Very Best regards,
Joan & John

From June 27th to Sept 7th we take weekly bookings only. We book from Saturday to Saturday. Our special weekly rates include a free night. We are dog friendly, but we do have a dog policy : We take friendly, well-behaved dogs. Owners need to bring a bed for their dog to sleep on, as they are not allowed on the furniture. Dogs are not allowed to be left alone in the cabin, when their owners are off the property, unless the dog is kept in it's dog crate. Dogs can not be aggressive.
