Rob was a lovely, kind host - around if needed but not at all intrusive. The henpen was immaculately clean and very comfortable. We didn't even have to strip the beds etc at the end, it felt so hassle free. Talking of the bed - the mattress was so comfortable my husband looked at the brand for future reference! The garden was incredible and very secure for our dog. We had some issues with the Internet but mostly when trying to stream films etc to our amazon stick - Rob was very helpful though and even started to look into upgrading the system. Really wonderful hosts. Great location too - cardigan bay is amazing, as is poppit sands beach. Thanks again for a lovely holiday.
