New Forest Accessible Accommodation

This week we were asked why do we only take dogs in our Garden Bench property and why do we charge?

1. It is our only property that has a private secure garden - so we know you dog will be there able to pop into the garden for a wee without disturbing the neighbouring property and without escaping into the road in an area they don't know.

2. We charge, cause we deep clean after your stay - we move all the furniture and get the carpets cleaned - as the next guests might need tummy time and this is how we can ensure the cottage is pas clean as possible as we ask that you keep them off the furniture and beds!
