Authentically dog friendly.
Emily Harlington, September 2025
Because they’re the most dog friendly accommodation, why else?!
Karen Cremonese, September 2025
The people that run this hotel are amazing. The decor of the house is wonderful. Although it is beautiful they still made our dog feel welcome. There wasn’t that precious “show home “ feel where we were worried about our dog being there

Sa Jones, September 2025
Because they are dog friendly. Probably wouldn’t stay there myself as I don’t really like dogs, but for those who have dogs they look after them really well .

They were very accommodating when we booked a surprise birthday stay for our daughters and little dog (who sadly didn't get to stay in the end!).

Sheila and Bruce at The Great House gave our family such a special welcome and our very friendly springer spaniel Molly, who loved her 'doggie welcome pack'.
Tina Dodd, September 2025
You can tell as soon as you enter the hall that they are dog lovers! There is a basket dedicated to dog blankets, a table with maps for walking and two friendly dogs and their owners to welcome you! We never fail to have a lovely time when we come and stay at The Great House with Sheila and Bruce.
Rachel Jenner, September 2025
We had a fabulous weekend with our dog Peggy at The Great House . Bruce and Shelia were so welcoming and provided everything we needed for Peggy to have a comfortable stay including dog bowls , blanket, poo bags , spray cleaner for any accidents and snacks . They even let us store her dog food in the fridge . Peggy settled well in the dining room and was well behaved and we were made to feel at home . We all had a great nights sleep . Highly recommended . It was Peggy’s first holiday since we rescued her and we are planning to return as it’s such a beautiful and special place .

We stayed at The Great House in July this year with our Sprocker and what a wonderful welcome Molly had. She had her own bed, water bowl and gjft box included in our room! It makes such a difference being able to bring your dog along on holidays.

amazing friendly scrumptious food clean what more could you ask for !!!
Lisa RM, September 2025
Our cockerpoo loves staying at the Great House . There is always a large comfy bed, blankets and dog treats for him.
There are also towels at the entrance to dry off after muddy walks saving us having to pack damp smelly towels on our journey back. As for the sausages at breakfast, no wonder he had the waggiest of tales when ever we arrive!
Sheila and Bruce also give us ideas for great dog walks to tire out the most lively of pooches!
It’s fair to say our dog gets as good a service as the hoomans !
BELLE Schwartz, September 2025
Lovely owners, welcoming venue for people and dogs. Great area to explore

Jasmine Rael, August 2024
Sheila and Bruce are a fantastic couple who make a great team when it comes to taking care of everyone and everything at their B&B. They put 1000% effort into their business as it is their passion to care for the needs of the people/animals they WELCOME into their HOME. 💚🪻
Carol Stannard, August 2024
We had cream tea and supper at the great house last year and fell in love with it and Bruce and Sheila are amazing people. 👏

We have stayed there and they were very accommodating for us and our 4 legged friend, I would highly recommend the Great House
Kezia Van Boesschoten, August 2024
They are everything wrapped up in one package - ambiance, thoughtful owners, eco friendly, great food accommodating a variety of dietary needs, fab location, and the icing on the cake is you can bring your pooch and they have even have local sausages for them!!
Debbie Dalston, August 2024
A wonderful stay for hoomans and furry friends. Dog beds, breakfast, biscuits, blankets and wonderful walks.
I think Bruce would read a bedtime story to my dog if I asked!! Can’t recommend highly enough
Ellen Lugome, August 2024
I absolutely adore their bed and breakfast. And the way they pamper and welcome dogs is so cute!
Meghann Easley, August 2024
I adore this families hard work at building a home that welcomes others (and their pups) to come visit, rest, and enjoy life together! I feel like they are building a community not a business. I so do hope to visit one day. My best friend, my dog Brinley, passed away this past week and I would have loved traveling with him! Our smaller pup Jack is now my constant companion. To find places friendly and ready to host is a beautiful thing!
Amy Wigglesworth, August 2024
Literally the most beautiful B&B you can imagine with the NICEST owners - they are truly deserving of an award for their beautiful home and the amazing work they are doingX
