Owl cottage:

“We travel extensively throughout S.A. to Dog Shows. Obviously we always stay in Pet Friendly, Self Catering accommodation. Some are nice, some are very nice and some are grotty. But, The Owl Cottage, for us is the Crème De La Crème . It is quaint, pretty, every room has that personal touch and is beautifully decorated, and to boot, is safe for our dogs! Today we will book for another stay and of course tell all our friends ( and hope we get in before they do!) And Helen is the kindest person we have ever met! (That is the bonus!)”
