The property is beautiful, extremely clean and very well maintained. The attention to detail is first class, The surroundings are stunning, the countryside and the woods stretch for miles which was great for our dog, who was happy that he could explore the area off lead. Ollie, our dog loved his trip away and settled so well, the first time weâve managed to complete a stay as due to him being a very nervous dog, he doesnât settle staying away from home too well if the area is busy or noisy, we have always needed to come home early for him. We loved the area, so lovely and quiet and listening to the owls at night. We were so sad to leave but we will definitely be back for a longer stay. Thankyou for a perfect time.
