The barn is beautifully furnished, well- equipped, comfortable and located perfectly for visits to local attractions. The owners offer a really high standard of service with complementary items on arrival, including everything you need for your doggy companion! Lots of local pubs, easy to walk to, all serving great food. Highly recommended.
