A lovely place to stay. Lovely touches. Even ice cream in the freezer for both us and our dogs. It's the most dog friendly place we've ever stayed. Hosts were very nice and welcoming. Only thing I would say is, be aware you're near a dairy farm. Because it was very hot the smell was sometimes off putting and also the flies. But if you want to escape from it all, this is a wonderful place with wonderful hosts.
