I'm the grateful dog dad of a chihuahua/terrier rescue I named Kyri, after one of the characters in my fantasy novel, The MoonQuest.

Sweet Cottage, Great Host

Lovely property tucked away off the main road with cute cottages, an amazing breakfast, an evening firepit (complete with all the fixings for Smores) and a supremely dog-friendly attitude. I'll definitely be back!

Not as Pet Friendly as They'd Have You Believe

For me, the sign of a hotel that is truly friendly to it pet guests is one where housekeeping has done a thorough job and the pet doesn't finds bits of detritus that the cleaners missed. (If it's there, a dog will find it!)

I travel a lot and most hotels have terrific housekeepers. Usually, when something is missed, staff and managers are sincerely apologetic. Not at this hotel: When I reported that Kyri had found trash and bits of food on the floor, the manager was dismissive. I think he suspected me of planting it to get a rate discount.

Largely because of the manager's attitude (I also had non-pet issues that he refused to acknowledge), I would never stay at this hotel again and certainly wouldn't recommend it to fellow pet parents...or to anyone else.
