on Bit annoying that other dogs pooed on our lawn, for us to clear up and it happened more than once. Bit of a cheek that we had to strip all the beds before leaving. For what we payed for the property.

This was our second visit. It was especially good for my 90 year-old mother who has mobility issues. Katherine has always been very responsive and very helpful - a great host.

Beautiful scenery and stunning views from the house. Definitely the best holiday home we have stayed in. The EV charging is an added bonus.
