Extremely welcoming & accommodation has it all including really good beds & top quality bedding & towels ⦠we all slept well & were not expecting the âwalled gardenâ toiletries ⦠additional quality extras. Very dog friendly & hose available to wash down ⦠downstairs utility & wc/bootroom such a bonus! Loads of storage including two fridges & a freezer ⦠what is there not to like ⦠already looking at booking for next year.
