clean roommissing bowlwater dish
The room was clean and well presented on arrival.
I found that the website mentioned a doggy bed, a bowl, and a welcome hamper with treats should have been in the room. There was not even a bowl for water. It seemed excessive to charge £25 per night for a dog without providing at least a water dish.

room temperaturekitchen extractor
i stayed in a beautiful king room. it was quite warm. there were two electric fans provided. even with them on full blast, the temperature stayed at 29 degrees throughout the night! some forethought from the staff would have been appreciated. also, there was no view, just the roof of the pub extension. we could also hear the kitchen extractor fan.
