The owners were lovely and friendly and helpful too. We loved the big garden as did our dog. The area was very peaceful and I would have liked to stay longer. The only negative was that the fridge is very small, you canât stock up fridge items so meant lots of trips to the shops. Still a lovely home from home and so great to find somewhere so dog friendly.
