The Chalet looks forward to welcoming pets, with the owners having two dogs of their own keen to say hello and make friends. Some of the chickens from Down House will also provide you with some of their eggs as a welcome. Please note that the owners own garden is accessible via a path without a gate so any dogs may wander both ways to say hello which the owners are fine with. There is also a large pond in the owners’ garden so please beware and keep any animals under supervision if necessary. The grounds of Down House and its boundaries are enclosed so any furry friends cannot get out onto the road. The owners also have a second property available on their grounds which is a one bedroom named Downs Studio, sleeping two, meaning that both properties could be booked together if you have friends or family you wish to go away with.

Chalet is cute and had everything we needed. The welcome pack was much appreciated and the garden was great for my large dog. A very nice pub just down the road which was done up wonderfully for Xmas with friendly staff. The hosts were so friendly and nice and couldn't do enough for you.
