Just a few things that could be addressed - there was no hand soap in any of the bathrooms, no spare toilet roll and no cleaning products anywhere so if you donât arrive with these things it means a trip into town right away. The top half of the garden with the gate was good for our dogs but the house is advertised as dog friendly and I donât believe the grass part is actually dog friendly due to all the holes in the fences where sheep were kept and the grass part is not safely enclosed and if you have energetic or nosey dogs this isnât ideal. Also, the stair gate that was meant to stop dogs going upstairs was broke and kept falling off the wall every time somebody came through.

The house is great for a group of you to go away with lots of space for everyone. The large garden space for our dog was a great bonus. The only thing that let this house down for us was the late check in of 5pm and we feel it needs a bit of TLC with a few things broken , notified the owner of what we have found and we received a reply while away which was very good. We would highly recommend the crown pub in the local village for food and drink had a lovely meal here for my mum birthday. myself and all the family had a really lovely break and hope to return
