Other things to note
We are pet Friendly and want to share our fields with you and your pet. We are very conscious of the human treatment of all animals. Our primary concern is the safety of your pet.
* When you are in the house, they have full access as you do to all areas of the home.
*When outside all pets MUST be leashed to avoid getting lost in nearby woodland or chasing chickens. If YOU choose to take them off leash, we will not be held responsible for any loss or retrieval expenses.
*If pet sitting is needed for a period of time during your stay (in lieu of crating) please advise at time of booking so it can be accommodated.
* If your activities require you to leave a pet crated for more than 8 hours, YOU MUST return to feed and walk them; or make prior arrangements for their care if your visit requires extended time away from the house.
* If abandoned alone in the home for more than 10 hours crated or not, the Dog Warden will be called to remove the dog for it's safety and care.

Safe and secure accommodations for any pet is an enclosure suited to the needs and size of the pet. It should contain the pet when left in the dwelling unattended. This will eliminate the risk of harm to the pet from ingestion of foreign objects, or damage to the dwelling and contents should they get frightened, or excited by other animals near the building.

Children: We welcome all children on a case-by-case basis. Children under 8 years there is no guest charge. I do request written confirmation of responsibility from their guardians, relating to their safety and care while on site. Please ensure children remove their shoes at the door. Thank you.
