Spent 4 nights here with my partner and our 3 large dogs. The property was more than big enough for us and the garden was perfect for the dogs. Fully enclosed and gave us great peace of mind letting them out to roam in there. It was super private and the surroundings were very quite perfect for a peaceful holiday. My partner wanted to stay longer he’s already wanting to book again 🤣 overall perfect for a little get away.
