A lovely barn and well stocked. The only downside is the dark nights and small country lanes so didn't feel like venturing out at night.

This was the most perfect relaxing holiday for us and our fur baby. Jan was amazing from start to finish & truly cares about her quest's. There was everything there that you could need, even down to a spare light bulb. This is by far our favourite place to bring our fur baby. Would definitely recommend 😊
