Great enclosed garden if you have a dog. Was perfect for a short break. Would love to return.

We were made to feel welcome there. The owner and her staff were helpful and friendly. Sad to leave for home.

It was great to watch the horses and mingle with the friendly family who gave us good advice for shady walks in the intense heat! One of our two dogs was a retired assistance dog. However maybe people need to be aware that there are four large dogs who could be a little intimidating if you are not used to dogs. We had dogs so maybe they would react differently with a family without. Very friendly and love to rush up and say hello.
