The directions given for the property worked fine for us and we found the property even better than the photos in terms of space; larger than we’d anticipated. The standard of fittings and thoughtful decorations and touches were great, right down to the deciduous lemon drizzle cake and jar of dog treats. The location needs a car (for which there is a dedicated area) and it was easy to get around, then have such a comfortable base to return to. It was peaceful and the area for walking our dog just across the road was great and quiet too. The owner recommended a pub for Sunday lunch and the food really was good as well as being great service and dog friendly. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend.
