On entering the carport, guests access ALBA Cottage via the white lattice gate. There is a key safe where you will find the large key to the double doors on the patio.

Myself and my husband live nearby. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

P E T S:

We love all animals but have made the cottage available to guests with DOGS ONLY. Sorry, no cats for the reasons stipulated below.

If you have another pet you would like to bring, please advise us in a message and we will assess each request.

Airbnb hosts have to choose whether to be Pet Friendly or not. However, Airbnb does not specify what qualifies as a pet.
eg I know someone that has a pet pig. I would not want a pet to stay at the property.

WHY NO CATS:
Unknown to them, a friend had a guest stay with a cat. The cat used furniture as a scratching post, made pulls in rugs and blankets with its claws. To make it worse, she was allergic to cats, as are many people.

WHEN STAYING WITH YOUR DOG:
Please bring your your dog's bed and food bowl with you and don't let it on the bed and furniture in the cottage.

Some guests roll up the rugs, especially with long-haired dogs. We really appreciate it if you choose to do this.

Please also pick up your dog's poop from the garden and dispose of it in an appropriate place.

Thank you for your understanding.
