Super location! Well equipped, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Fabulous, huge fenced area for the dogs to run around safely and great views too. Lovely little pub at the bottom of the road serving great food. Thank you!

Views outstanding and large enclosed field for my dogs so I could just sit and relax whilst they played. Local pub just 5 minutes away and lots of walks nearby. Area is lovely and Dru and Andy were first class hosts. Will definitely return.
