We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to canons Ashby Northamptonshire yesterday visiting the gardens and cafe with our dog . Normally we visit Stowe as we can take our puppy with us ,but this summer Canons Ashby are allowing dogs in the garden ,such a good idea asa well behaved dog on a short lead causes no trouble . We saw 4 other families with their pooches whilst there . All dogs sat quietly under the tables in the outside cafe area ,the only noise came from a child having a tantrum . We have at times felt excluded from so many trust gardens for having our dog with us although we pay the same membership
