As before a warm welcome to a lovely, quiet holiday property. Everything we needed was there and the owner was most helpful and friendly (as was his dog Willow).

. Very comfortable accommodation with everything we could need. The greatest joy, however, was the opportunity to meet the owner, Don, and his beautiful dog, Willow. Don is such a kind friendly host, and Willow's daily visits were something we looked forward to. We will never forget either of them.

Beautiful grounds so quiet. Everything we needed was in the lodge. So comfortable it felt like home from home without all the noise. Willow is a great dog. I think Don is amazing.
