Bit of a role reversal this week… 👀

Mum & Dad are back running The Ashleigh for a few days whilst I’m away, which means guests are currently being looked after by the people who started it all over 30 years ago ❤️

Found this old photo today and honestly not much has changed apart from the cars and the questionable 90s fashion 😂

Please be nice to them… they’re retired and I’ve thrown them back into hospitality chaos.

Meet lovely Freddie 🐾 (on the right) who has been staying with us for the last 4 days with her wonderful owners visiting all the way from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Here's something I thought was pretty cool... they found The Ashleigh by asking AI where to stay on the South Coast that accepts dogs, and somehow little old us came out at the top of the list 🥹

Freddie has settled in perfectly and Jet and Sage have loved having another garden friend around 🐶

Safe travels home Freddie, we hope to see you again ❤️

Beach walks, breakfast included, a garden for the dogs to enjoy and a proper dog friendly stay where dogs are welcomed, not just tolerated 🥰

So if you've been thinking "maybe we should have a little getaway..." your dog would probably like a quick word 👀

Sage and Jet have somehow managed to get rewarded for spending the last four days having a bark off through the swing door between the kitchen and dining room with Astra the Daniff 😂

Not once did they actually meet.
Did that stop them screaming at each other every morning? Of course not.

Huge thank you to Astra’s owners for spoiling these two this morning despite the constant background commentary from all involved 🐾
