We had booked this holiday with our dog in mind. He died a few weeks ago, for him this property would have been perfect. It was clean & tidy. Location was quite good for local shops & a pub. Other amenities a short drive away.

place is bigger than it looks in photos, wasn't very clean when we arrived and had a musty smell, bedding and towels smelt funny , place needs a bit of work and some new furniture , the settee was uncomfortable after a short while , one of the mattresses in the end bedroom was worn out, tap constantly dripping in kitchen, the recliner chair sounds like its gonna break any minute, was OK for what we paid, garden brilliant for the dogs, off road parking is good , welcome pack was not really much use to us and certainly didn't have milk in it like others mentioned, a good location for sight seeing and a lovely quiet area, nice chippy up the road , aldi a short drive away .
