Guests' Comments
Beautiful! Great hosts, great food – and most of all, great for dogs!!
Mr & Mrs M Briggs, from Folkestone, Kent – July 2011
What a beautiful location! Superb for dogs. The house is gorgeous and absolutely pristine. Thank you for a fantastic stay – all three of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves – rest assured, we will be back!
Mr & Mrs J Taylor, from Milton Keynes – July 2011
We had a lovely stay and it was great for Sammy. She liked her bed & sausages in the morning. Comfy room and lovely breakfast.
Mr & Mrs A Bell, from Wirral – July 2011
We have stayed at many places that claim to be dog friendly – but in reality, most of them only tolerate dogs. At Hay House Farm dogs are thoroughly embraced – Holly was made to feel as much a guest as we were. Adrian and Debbie are wonderful hosts, offering help or advice on places to visit, or spectacular walks, whilst respecting our space and privacy also. The rooms are excellent, clean and comfortable and Debbie's food is stunning. We have had a lovely break and will definitely be back – hopefully with puppy! (Just the one – fingers crossed!!) XX
Mr & Mrs J Urwin, from Durham – July 2011
Many thanks to you both (and Lucy) for a wonderful stay. We will be back!
Mr & Mrs J Carney, from St Helens – July 2011
"Wow" from the first moment coming up the drive and seeing the house, then such a warm welcome from Adrian & Debbie who are fantastic hosts. Debbie's cooking is wonderful and the rooms are so cosy. Thank you both so much for letting us stay in your superb home, and especially to Debbie for her dog catching skills!
Stuart, Shirlee & Finley, from Eton Wick, Berkshire – June 2011

Mr & Mrs R Osborn, from Fawley, Hampshire – June 2011
A truly wonderful few days. Five star treatment for us and our springer, Ollie. Amazing property, lovely people, superb food, luxury hot tub. Didn't think it possible to have this kind of break, including Ollie! Can't wait to come back soon.
Mr & Mrs C Jones, from Wantage, Oxfordshire – June 2011
