Nice and clean. Lots of extras and a lovely welcome pack. The little garden is across the road and is a nice place to sit. Lots and lots of ducks about too! Only 1 little downside is there is only 1 small cupboard for food. But we managed fine. Definitely recommend here and the lovely local walks.

The open plan layout is very spacious which allows you to move freely. The upstairs is lovely and clean with a comfortable bed. Very nice.

Only thing not stated in the listing is that dogs are not allowed upstairs. So this might be an issue if your dog will not settle down stairs and can be trusted to not go near the furniture.
