Dan was very helpful during our stay and provided lots of suggestions for places to visit in the local area that were dog friendly. The accommodation had everything we needed and there was a really good welcome pack including a bottle of Prosecco which we enjoyed in the hot tub! There was also a welcome pack for our dog which she loved! This was our first visit and we will definitely go back. We would highly recommend especially for dog owners.
