Clean, comfortable and perfect location.
Lovely outdoor deck.
Fully enclosed backyard for our fur boys.
This is the second time we have stayed here. Highly recommended
(The only concern I had was our first week was quite wet, and dogs had to walk over carpet to get to the back room.
4 pairs of kids socks fixed this small problem.) 🐶🐶
The place is conveniently located with a fenced backyard which our dog loved.. bed was comfy but was smaller than our Queens bed at home.. unfortunately one of the towels provided was not washed properly but easily fixed as we can use the guests one.. overall an enjoyable stay and recommended for travellers with dogs (or no dogs!)

Perfect pet friendly accommodation!
We cannot speak highly enough about this unit. It was spacious, light and clean, with every detail well thought out including the sun room for the dogs. The beds were super comfortable and the back garden overlooking the creek was picturesque. The only downside was no wifi and the light in the second bedroom didn't work. We will definitely stay here again!

A fantastic place to stay, had everything needed.
Thank you so much for making the house available and for allowing us to bring our 2 old dogs. Everything was perfect and the owner was very kind and caring. It was just what we needed. I can't speak highly enough of our experience. I highly recommend the property, Bright is a beautiful place and we would have loved to be able to stay longer. Will certainly stay again if we have the opportunity.

Wonderful, truly pet friendly property!
We stayed for 3 nights with 3 adults & 2 labradors- pleasantly surprised by how nice the inside was, & how handy to have the sunroom for the labs to stay in! The back yard was a great size, not huge, but enough to run around in and for the labs to laze in the sun. The inside was perfect, with both a washing machine & a dryer a bonus as we competed in the Spartan races over the weekend and got very muddy! An added bonus was how close the house was to the main part of town- a 2 minute walk! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay- highly recommended!
