    The dogs loved their treats and we did too, thank you. The secure garden was so good for the dogs. We will be back.

  • Amanda

    ! It is set in a very rural location which was perfect for us. It was exceptionally clean, very homely and very well equipped. Pauline and Derek had thought about absolutely everything. The garden was very secure which gave us peace of mind with our very adventurous Westie. The peace and quiet was so relaxing, just what we needed. Really can't wait to return x
