Rules for all our Best Friends visiting: 

To have you coming back again; I have to set some rules for all to obey, to keep the Cottage clean and enjoyable for the human friends visiting! SO LET’S ALL WORK TOGETHER AND MAKE IT A PLEASANT STAY FOR ALL Our couches and bedding are comfortable as it is, so we don’t need extra fur to make them cozy! I have covered all couches with extra blankets to protect them from muddy and dusty paws, and the extra fur. PLEASE KEEP THE BLANKETS ON AT ALL TIMES, and provide the furries with their own bedding, blankets and a water bowl, AND TRY KEEPING THEM OF THE COUCHES AND THE BEDS. We ask all owners to make sure that they clean up after their doggies. THERE IS A POOP SCOOP NEXT TO THE OUTSIDE BIN. Socialised dogs are welcome to run off-leash on the entire farm. Do note that we have farm animals and game roaming freely in different camps. Always carry your leashes with you. We ask that you not leave your dogs unattended in the cottage at any time.
