Alison
Very clean with ample towels etc. The owner met us on arrival & was pleasant, she explained the features of the property. The shower was fabulous & the beds comfortable. A couple of downsides - extremely noisy tractors almost constantly passing the property at speed for a number of hours, even into the night. Secondly the property is advertised as dog friendly but is more dog tolerant in our opinion.

She met us on site /showed us how use all the facilities. There was goodies for us and a towel /doggy bics/ fresh water for our beardie Harry. The house was spotless throughout and it's safe to say Eve had gone above and beyond in our expectations. . There is an enclosed garden which Harry loved to relax in when it stopped raining for the odd minute last lol. There is a fab doggy friendly pub The Rose & Crown a 5 min drive away with excellent food and drink. Although the weather was atrocious the house was so comfortable this did not ruin our holiday and we would happily stay again.
