Our boys and dogs loved the garden too. Very central but quiet location. There were basic essentials such as salt, pepper, tea, coffee and sugar, washing up liquid and cleaning supplies which was thoughtful. We were also left a carton of UHT milk and a bottle of wine which was a lovely touch. The only thing lacking was soap in the downstairs toilet, everything else was great. We would definitely recommend and book again!
