The price of your stay will depend on your travel dates and the hotel you choose.
Again, this depends on the hotel you choose but pet-friendly rooms usually include a dog bed, dog blanket and dog treats.
For great views, we recommend the Penny Farthing Hotel and Cottages and The Angel and Blue Pig.
If you have a specific budget in mind, our team can recommend accommodation. But some of the most popular choices include the Fountain Inn, Educatefirst and The Holiday Inn Express.
