The facilities were first class and the owner Karen was very informative and helpful. There was plenty of leaflets available for places to go and things to do. The garden areas were amazingly kept and some agility equipment for the dogs which was great. It was peaceful and idyllic. I can only say a big thank you to Karen for sorting the slight problem with the electrics and making our holiday memorable. We will definitely go back again.
