This was an idyllic property- lovely and quiet with stunning views - well equipped and soo comfortable (especially with the log burner) the host was friendly and welcoming and quick to respond. The only downside was there wasn’t a secure field and no gate on the garden so this was a problem as we had 2 dogs. If there was a secure field then we would definitely be back.

An excellent place to stay with dogs!!The owners were smashing and lovely. The kettle was replaced immediately as it stopped working, and the owners responded speedily to our messages.Highly recommended place if you’re looking for somewhere with dogs, it’s not high spec, but everything is there that you need, and importantly constant hot water with clean towels and bedding.Log fire with plenty of wood and kindling for cosy night in with family 🫶
