I know it is a dog friendly site but I don't expect to get covered in hair everytime i sat down. The gas being out wasn't a problem as heaters where provided for warmth, however the oven was gas and this wasn't said and I couldn't cook anything for my children. I'm sorry bit it is not one I would recommend.

However, while the property is dog friendly, the site definitely is not. My wife was harassed by the gateman on numerous occasions telling her not to walk the dog on site, keep it off the grass, dont let it off the lead etc etc. On one occasion he actually followed her from the reception all the way to the holiday home and waited until she was inside before going back. We had every intention of booking to go back there but this man has changed our mind on that. A pity because itâs a lovely place.
