I don’t know where to start. We were in need of a New Year escape for us and our dogs, and honestly could not have found anywhere more perfect.The barn is super well equipped with appliances that are easy to use. The kitchen is charming but with everything you could need in it and more.The thoughtful welcome basket was stocked with really lovely goodies including some biccies for the dogs.We really enjoy taking our two away but it can sometimes be tricky to find the right place. Look no further than this property. Wendy can supply everything you need to make sure your furry friends are set up. I think we appreciated the dog wash station more than they did though! The garden is super secure and the helpful touches like extra throws for the sofa were most welcome. The village on the doorstep has a wealth of walking options and while you feel completely away from it all in the barn if you wish to venture out there is lots to visit only a short drive away.I can’t recommend this place highly enough & am working on planning a return visit.
