Beautiful house and garden. Very comfy beds. The lounge was a bit cool but it was January - very cold and wet when we were staying. The log burner was very welcome but not enough logs for a week. I’ll think the house is extremely dog friendly and maybe undersells itself there. Our Bichon felt very at home and he loved the enclosed walled garden. I was impressed with the array of pots and pans available, however a bit disappointing that there was no provision of foil/ clingfilm / dishcloth that I would usually find in other accommodation. There were 3 generations staying with the downstairs bedroom working well for our group and all with their own bathroom. There was plenty of space for everyone.
