Mr Baker
I think that it should mention somewhere that if you are taking dogs there may be gunshots heard on a regular basis that may upset them if they are sensitive to that noise. Lovely accommodation and area but we had to leave after 2 nights (we booked for a whole week) because of the stress the gunfire was causing our dog-there were no set times as it happened about 6am and then throughout the day up to late evening. Had it mentioned this somewhere on the accommodation details we wouldn’t have booked it.
