Last week we stayed in a very nice hotel run by people fairly new to the business.

They had one room only (out of ? 20) in which dogs were allowed.
We were in 1 of only 3 occupied rooms. Under the dog room
The last night of our stay it was occupied by a very active dog.
Up until midnight it amusing to try to guess the breed of the dog by it rate of movement & the pitch of it's howling.
From 4.30 we were kept awake by the thump of it's tail on the floor. Not amusing

Turns out the dog owners were relatives of the hoteliers. I hope they coughed the full fee, cos that hotel has lost any return business from us.

Please be careful of family/friend expecting free holidays for life - especially if they annoy your paying guests.
