Quiet and comfortable and in easy reach of the coast. Biggest 5 stars was a list of things you could do and that were available in the property which is a refreshing change from a list of things you can't!! Especially made a relaxing stay with 2 dogs so thank you we all loved it and would wholly recommend

Ideal base to venture out and about. Great fishing ponds within 1 min drive. Spoke to Clare the owner, very nice lady, will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great break. Cannot fault the place, even down to having a dog bed, poo bags and dog towels . It was perfect, thank you Clare and Ian.
