Candida Starling, owner of the Old Vicarage Hotel, said "dogs are family" when they visit.

"Just like family we want them to have the best and most fun holiday possible," she said.

"So, we have dog beds, towels, treats and pooh bags ready for them when they get here. We also have a hand drawn map of local doggies walk.

"We have tables in the restaurant and bar when you dog can join you for supper.
