Hi Rob,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that your booking was cancelled the day after you booked. We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been, particularly after you had already paid and thought your holiday was confirmed.

We take availability and booking issues very seriously, and we’re sorry that on this occasion the experience fell short of the service we aim to provide.

We’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into what happened with your booking and understand why the property was no longer available. If you’re able to contact our Customer Support team at support@dogfriendlycottages.co.uk with your booking details, we’ll be happy to investigate this further and assist wherever we can.

We sincerely apologise again for the inconvenience caused.

Best wishes,

Rebecca

Not dog friendly accommodation. No enclosed space for dogs

Alwyn Cottage in Wales was booked via a dog friendly site. This cottage was advertised as dog friendly. It is dog tolerant, i.e. dogs are allowed, but not dog friendly. The gates to the overgrown garden are locked as the garden is inaccessible. There is not a space that you can let dogs out. There is a sign stating that dogs must be kept on a lead at all times We are disappointed as we
do not consider having to keep dogs on a lead at all times as dog friendly accommodation.

Further to your response here and your email to me I have sent you pictures of the outside area from which you will see that there are no outdoor secure spaces for the dogs; I have also sent you a picture of the sign instructing visitors to keep dogs on lead at all times

Hi Maria,

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback and for speaking with our team.

We’re sorry that your stay at Alwyn Cottage did not meet the expectations you had when booking a dog-friendly property. We completely understand how important it is for guests travelling with their dogs to have confidence that a property offers a suitable and enjoyable environment for both them and their pets.

Following our conversations and the information you shared with us, we have supported you in how to raise your concerns directly with the property managers. We have also taken the decision to remove this property from our websites while these concerns are reviewed.

We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the range of properties we offer and ensure we’re providing the best possible experience for our customers and their four-legged companions.

Thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to look into this.

Best wishes,

Rebecca
