Owner Rita and her lovely little dog made us feel at home, there if we needed anything but also aware of letting us get on with our holiday. Our dog Bert loved the garden and the nice big windows to look out of. Comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen with good quality crockery and pans, cake and eggs with milk ready on arrival for us. I am sure this will be a success as itâs just an ideal place to stay. 2 pubs within 15 mins walk, great food and hospitality at the Inn on the green. ( book for Sunday lunch) dogs allowed in bar area, plenty of room. We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to friends. Thank you Tony Claire and Bert
