A wonderful, peaceful setting where dogs can run free in a secure communal area. The accommodation was warm and cozy with a well fitted out kitchen, lovely bathroom and a four-poster bed in the spacious bedroom. The local amenities were a short drive away and provided everything needed for a home-from-home holiday. The surrounding countryside provided plenty of dog walks and places to visit. The owner was available if anything else was needed and to provide some useful dog training tips!! We will certainly return for another visit as soon as we can!

A lovely peaceful escape for us and our dogs. Nearby is a welcoming , dog friendly pub and if you are brave enough to negotiate the tiny windy roads with few passing spaces, there are some lovely attractions nearby
