Sheila
it was the most comfortable and roomy of the previous, there was a good fenced off garden for our 2 young Labs. it was very peaceful with helpful neighbours across the road who will mind your dog/s if needed. Good off road parking and lots of safe walking. We hope to return in the future.

Comfortable beds, friendly neighbour and a lovely walk into the village of Sutton Bridge or down to the picnic area and viewing point for the wash. Great base for exploring the area, or just recharging your batteries.
