My stay was calm, comforting, quiet and relaxing. The dog treats, poo bags and tea/biscuits were a nice little touch.The home was very clean, smelt nice and was well equipped with everything we needed for the stay.My dog did manage to keep escaping out beneath the mental fence. I was pleasantly surprised to see that while I was out, this gap had been closed up without me asking for help keep my dog safely enclosed in the garden area.I would definitely stay again.
