We have three very friendly pets on our property- a senior cat named Ruby and friendly dogs named Beau (Border collie x Aussie shepherd) and Penny (Jack Russell) Neither or them are allowed in your cottage, but they do like to wander around the grounds to play, and will likely pop around while you're here to say hi. If you don't like dogs then this probably isn't the best choice of accommodation for you. Please park either directly in front of Seafarer's Cottage or across the street in the Happy Hens/Latham Park parking lot.
