Having never travelled with our Boxer Dogs before, we were a bit nervous about what the accommodation in a pet friendly room would be like. We were more than pleasantly surprised that the room we booked was more than suitable for our needs. It was smell free, clean and tidy, everything worked. The queen bed was comfortable and warm and we were able to manage getting outside with our dogs easily and efficiently. margaret woodbridgeMay 22, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
