We do not charge extra for Dogs.
If you have more than one Dog, please contact us to discuss before you book, this is usually not a problem, but it depends on the size of the Dogs and which property or Room you are planning to stay in.
Each Apartment has a Dog bowl and Dog towels for your use during your stay.
Please ensure that your dog is covered by an appropriate flea treatment when you stay.
Your Dog is NOT allowed on any furniture or on the Beds. If specialist cleaning products or extra time is required to remove muddy paw prints, or accidents on the carpet, you will be charged for this through your Bond. You will be charged the full cost of any Stained Linen which needs replacing.
Your Dog must NOT be left alone in the property or room at any time. This reduces the risk of possible damage, and also ensures that your Dog cannot disturb others by Howling or Barking.
