Lovely clean property, fantastic garden for the dogs, comfortable bed and doggy welcome box plus a pint of milk on arrival. There is a knack to successfully flushing the down stairs loo but once conquered no problem! Only suggested addition would be some pasta bowls. Thoroughly recommend for couple with dogs, thank you for letting us stay
