We had a great time with our dog and were made to feel completely welcome. At no time was there an issue with having a dog with us or any restrictions placed on us (I choose to keep him on lead to ensure he left the cat, chickens and sheep alone). The grounds are open so a dog that might wander and/or doesn't have good recall should probably be kept on lead. But you do have the benefit of ovals right next door that you can access from the side of the property.
Trevor was amazing giving us a tour of the house, explaining the history and features and explaining where he's made improvements/restorations. It was fascinating to hear and Trevor had some incredible stories to share with us.
Thank you so much for hosting us, we'll definitely be looking forward to coming back in the future for a longer stay.
