ASSISTANCE DOGS

You should inform us at the time of booking that you will be bringing an assistance dog.  Assistance dogs are exempt from extra charge.  We may require you to provide documentation confirming the assistance dog’s status.

 

Assistance dogs are not permitted to lie on bedding or soft furnishings, and you should bring suitable bedding for the dog.  Any damage caused by an assistance dog will be the owner’s responsibility and we may raise a charge for damage caused.

 

Six of our 13 accommodation units are classified as suitable for dogs and we reserve the right to allocate guests with assistance dogs to accommodation units that are designated as suitable for dogs.  Dogs are not permitted on the first floor of Harford House.

 

PET ALLERGIES

If you or a member of your party has a pet allergy, we cannot guarantee that dogs, or other pets, have not stayed in your chosen accommodation, even if the accommodation unit does not allow pets.  Nor can we accept any responsibility for any subsequent health reaction.  It is your responsibility to make specific enquires before booking.

ACCESSIBILITY FEEDBACK

“I stayed with my daughter and her father between the 9th-11th August [2024] at Harford and wanted to feedback on the disabled facilities as I am a wheelchair user.

The wet room was amazing- clean, spacious, plenty of handles to support transferring and moving around safely. The door was a little tricky to access by myself, however, other guests were happy to help. The outside washing up sinks were low enough that I could reach and independently clean. The reception, games room and food van were all easily accessible.

Overall, the facilities went above expectation, and I look forward to returning soon.”
