We are happy for you to bring your dog and do not charge extra. We do not restrict the number of dogs and they alre allowed to be in the cottage without you. There are plenty of places for walking where the dog can be off the lead. They will also be able to play with our 3 labradors! We do take other pets and have had a cat, guinea pig and bird to stay!
