We loved the quirky layout. We had everything we needed & it was a lot bigger than it looks in the photos. Welcome treats much appreciated. The outside space was perfect for our dog, fully enclosed. Parking easy in front of the property. Bed really comfy! Overall a very enjoyable stay. Thank you for having us.
