Duckling Cottage & Barrack House

31/07/2024

Doris Dobby, our pub dog, is somewhat of an old gal these days and is mostly retired from hospitality life, although sometimes she makes it in to check that everything is all in order.

Duckling Cottage was on the agenda for a quick look around today, our very own self-catering property that sleeps six and of course allows dogs!
