It is hard to find somewhere to stay with 3 lively dogs which also lives up to the comfort and luxury which us two legged folk would like. Broadsands farmhouse had it all. Spacious, clean and comfortable with a wonderful farmhouse kitchen, hot tub to relax in whilst looking at the glorious views over the valley, smart tv to keep everyone happy on evenings in and wonderful surroundings including a field just for the dogs to stretch their legs. Other facilities on-site include a heated indoor swimming pool, bbq facilities and little shop on site. Alice, the owner, was always on hand to offer advice on the local area, good places to eat and the best beaches/ cliffs to walk the dogs. We would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a dog friendly holiday where you can also spoil yourselves!
