Perfect! We found Oak Lea, welcoming and very clean, you wouldn't know it was dog-friendly. Appreciated the welcome pack upon arrival and we like self check-in, knowing the owners are contactable if needed. Oak Lea is spacious and we found it very warm and cosy in the evening. Would recommend and will return. Thank you.
