It was so peaceful here. We found some beautiful walks all around us, forest walks and also lots of beautiful beaches nearby. This place was perfect for our nervous pouch who suffers from anxiety. We would definitely like to return some time in the future. Thank you Debbie for the use of your beautiful cottage.

The garden and outside space was great for our dog, and being able to walk through the field to the orchard beyond made a relaxed start to our days. So many nice places to visit within 30 minutes drive. Nice dog-friendly pub just a walk away. Thoroughly recommended and would love to return.
