We are a family of 4, (with a young toddler) plus our doggy Bella. The facilities provided were great, including travel cot and high chair, both of which had been cleaned (something we have experienced that you don't get at other places, often!) The only downside we could possibly add, was that there was no grass in the garden (although we appreciate the maintenance would be a lot higher to keep grass!) It wasn't too much of an issue though, as we were nice and close to a dog walking beach :) Mandy was very hospitable and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay (was a very nice touch to have milk ready in the fridge when we arrived for a cuppa :) thank you!) Would definitely recommend, and would stay again.

Mandy was there to greet us (she lives next door) and was very accommodating throughout our stay. There was little welcome treats for both humans and dogs. The beds were lovely and comfortable. Would 100% recommend this place to family and friends We noticed that there was no bbq facilities at the property so you might want to take a small disposable one (if honoured by Mandy) if you want to do that one day?
