Yes. Barnsley Resort allows pets in its Arbor Cottages. Up to two pets are welcome per accommodation, with no size restrictions, and they must be leashed in public areas. A pet fee applies, and service animals are exempt. Pet-friendly rooms are stocked with bowls, a pet bed, water and treats before you arrive, and there is a grassy pet relief area on the property.

The suite has a garden view. It sits on a historic estate of restored boxwood gardens, lakes and ponds, and it feels like a private cottage tucked away from the main buildings.

At 1,056 sq. ft., it is a one-bedroom cottage suite. The bedroom is separate from the living area, which has a sitting area, a fireplace and the sofa bed. That gives families and longer stays room to spread out. Air conditioning and a ceiling fan keep it comfortable through the seasons.

The private bathroom has a shower, plush bathrobes and slippers, designer toiletries, a hair dryer and fresh towels. Housekeeping comes daily.

You get a flat-screen TV with satellite and premium channels, free Wi-Fi and a laptop workspace. There is also a coffee/tea maker, an in-room safe, an iron and ironing board, a wardrobe or closet, and free local calls. Room service runs limited hours.

Breakfast is an optional paid extra. The resort is cashless, so bring a credit or debit card, as cash and personal checks are not accepted.
