Absolutely perfect house for visiting all of the near by places. It’s super comfortable and there is plenty of room for everyone. The living room upstairs was so peaceful! I thought the garden may have been an issue for the dogs at first, as you need to walk over the drive to get to it, but it was no trouble at all and it was really safe and secure, we could leave them to play out on their own. We are already looking to come back next year! Thank you Donna, it was fantastic and the welcome treats were heaven after a 10 hour drive ❤️
