Decorated to a high standard! Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Warm and comfortable! Dog very welcome. All I would do is update photo of enclosed garden as in the booking photo there are only 3 sides, no problem for us as I rang to check but could put off some people off booking! Would highly recommend

The owner introduced herself on arrival leaving us a cream tea and treats for our dog. We will definitely revisit in the future.
