It has absolutely everything we need and the dogs can be in the woods for walks is in less than five minutes. We will hopefully, be visiting again next year and every year it is available. The dogs love it too as there are lots of treats and toys and comfy beds for them.

Patio is fully secure even for my tiny Chihuahuas! Great walks from the door. Comfortable beds and lovely well equipped kitchen. Ideally situated for visits to several attractions. Friendly locals and some nice pubs within a short distance. Parking is easy and we found it handy having an Asda Express next door! Hope to return and explore more of this area. Thank you Liz!
