Doggo Friendly

The Roost is a proudly dog friendly accommodation, so the whole family (including pooches) can enjoy the beauty of this diverse landscape.

Your pup will be able to roam the lush pastures by day and snuggle up with you next to the fireplace by night.

Regrettably due to the delicate nature of the ecosystem and the lack of cat-run infrastructure, dogs are the only domestic pet that can be accommodated at The Roost.
