Other things to note
As big animal lovers we know that pets are part of the family. Small- Medium size dogs are permitted at The Convent by prior arrangement. Pooper scooper provided and you will need to clean up after your pet. They are permitted inside on timber flooring and provided doggy bed.A bed and kennel are provided outdoors. Please don’t allow them on the carpeted area or furniture as not all guests appreciate traces of our furry friends.
There is a vegetable garden and fruit trees that guests are welcome to use. Cereals, bread, condiments etc are provided. Please note the church and school house on the adjoining property are private residence so please respect that there is strictly no access though you are welcome to explore the graveyard as it is now part of the property and provides an interesting opportunity to explore.
We hope you enjoy your visit to the region, most guests return for more as The Convent tends to leave you feeling truly relaxed and peaceful
