Thank you to Nicky and Pete for their wonderful hospitality. They have a lovely property with some fantastic walks and pubs locally. I travelled with my labrador Harry who was also spoilt with treats, food bowls, soft bedding. I was welcomed with that wonderful jam sponge! Very tranquil surroundings with lots to explore and a small private garden which is grateful Harry. Definitely will be back. Property mate clean with everything you need to enjoy your stay with

Delightfully decorated, clean and comfortable space to spend away from home. Everything we needed and more! Our hosts Peter and Nicky were attentive and friendly and we felt so welcomed. Our dog enjoyed the garden and she was safe and secure in the enclosed space. A place to return to and tell our friends about. Thank you both

WOW, where to start.Peter & Nicky have thought of everything and some to make Keepers Lodge very much a home from home -it’s beautifully presented.Of all the places I’ve stayed with my faithful Furball this is top of the charts for his comfort and needs. From the dog bed, towels & treats, he was definitely spoilt. I always worry, especially in the wet months with muddy walks, meaning muddy footprints. But I was assured this wasn’t an issue. A secure garden for those late night and early morning wees was also a plus point. The welcome pack for me was very much appreciated. Oh and the shower is to die for, I could have stayed under it all night!! Well done Peter & Nicky, I shall be recommending Keepers Lodge.

A massive thank you for your wonderful review. It makes us so happy when we make our guests happy, both two and four legged. Something we have learnt from our travels is that 'dog friendly' is often barely 'dog tolerant'. Our aim is to reverse that trend and make your dog as welcome as you are. Your comments make all our efforts worthwhile, it is great to know we are getting it right. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback and you know you will always receive a warm welcome at Keeper's Lodge.
