Dogs in the guest rooms and the lounge and bar, with a basket provided if you ask ahead.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Dogs are welcome in the guest rooms and in the lounge and bar areas when they are not too busy, supervised and under control. If you leave the dog in the room alone, hang the do not disturb sign or tell reception. Dogs off the furniture and beds, and cleaned down after a walk on the links or the beach.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
