Kate very welcoming. Great paddock for our pup to run around in and even though we had a fair bit of rain it drained well. Hope to be back later in the year.

The property was fresh, warm and clean and had everything we needed including the large paddock, which provided freedom for our dog to run around, she loved it. A very peaceful and quiet location and perfect for visiting the coast, market towns and of course the moors. Our host Kate could not do enough for us and made us feel very welcome. We would recommend and will return in the future.
