Reactive Dog Guide
Watson Cottage is a 2-Star Reactive Friendly property. The Setting: Located within the main farm complex, you may see or hear other visitors. However, the thick stone walls provide excellent sound insulation. Visual Privacy: The garden is enclosed to 5ft+. Double patio doors lead from the lounge to the garden; while these offer great views, they also mean dogs can see into the private garden area. Space to Settle: The open-plan first floor is exceptionally spacious, giving dogs plenty of room to find their own quiet spot away from the group
