Having stayed in a number of “dog friendly” cottages in the past it was a very welcome change to finally find one that is truly so. The welcome park was superb and our labrador was especially keen on the Nico treats! She had a choice of comfortable dog beds which saves the need for fitting one in the car, there was spare doggie towels & blankets plus toys, leads, bowls, everything you could need.
It was our rescue dog’s first holiday and we couldn’t have asked for a better location than the Crib with so many lovely walks available from the garden gate. The garden itself was large and fully enclosed so safe for late night sniffs & wanders.
Her hoomans loved the well equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches all round the cottage that made it a real home from home.

This was our first time at The Crib, and what lovely accomodation it was. Very well kitted out for ourselves and our seven dogs. This has to be the most dog friendly accomodation that we have stayed in and we have stayed in a few. A lovely garden for the dogs to play in and to chase the odd squirrel that dared to appear.

Thanks for a great week! We loved our stay at The Crib, what a nice cottage and the garden was just perfect for us and our hounds, especially or nervous rescue. Really quiet (didn't expect that as it's on the main road through the village...) and only a very short walk down to the beach & cliff top walks. We also had really nice weather so were able to make the most of the sunny garden and had breakfast in the garden most days.
Lots of nice artwork in every room and lots of things for the dogs - who loved the many beds that were provided...
Apologies, ran out of time to write in the guest book!
