We have created special packages for overnight stays in our bedrooms that we have designated as dog friendly. Complete with their own doggy bed, blanket, bowl, and welcome box of tasty treats, up to a maximum of two dogs per room can stay with you, where available, for £20 per pet, per night.

“Quite location a short distance from Winchester. Friendly staff and dog friendly. A few steps away from a dog walk and private entrances to each room were a plus. The rooms were equipped with fridges and a coffee machine. Great value for money.” - Karen
