“Thank you Nigel and Carina. We have had the most relaxing wonderful stay. Staying here is so peaceful, very good for body, mind and soul. Jacob and Lola have thoroughly enjoyed the garden in all its glory. Jake loves to explore even though it is hard to get around these days on his old legs. We were most grateful for the info you gave us on places of interest. We found the most lovely restaurant called "Shoals" at Berryhead, Brixham. The seafood was amazing and they welcome dogs outside, which over looks a beautiful seawater swimming pool which on turn looks out to sea, exquisite! Had great food at the Ley Arms, Kenn who are also very welcoming to dogs. We are very upset to be going home. Thank you again for your hospitality. Hopefully see you again. ”

“We have had a lovely time at the Lodge The Dogs just loved it. Whilst we only met Carina once, we knew she was there if needed. Headweeder's Lodge is fantastic. The grounds and gardens a paradise hidden from view. The moment we arrived the outside world just melted away. Everyone in Kennford was so friendly. The Seven Stars Inn is great. We had the Sunday lunch and Rupert and Solomon got a chicken doggy dinner Whoof. Thank you Carina and Nigel. We would love to return, we will return! ”
