Dogs actually welcome rather than just tolerated. Fantastic paddock for them to run around! Well equipped kitchen and comfy lounge downstairs, perfect for a couple with dogs. Doors out to the enclosed garden space. Massive bed upstairs, en-suite has lovely bath. Hot tub in an outbuilding is a great feature. We would definitely recommend a visit if you want somewhere to relax with four-legged friends.

Clean and tidy and owner extremely helpful. Great for our dogs with a small fenced garden aswell as use of a larger paddock for a run around for them. Dog washing facilities including shampoo and hot and cold water over a large sink. Hot tub probably the best one I have stayed in and we use sykes 2 or 2 times a year. Also a laundry room with washing machine and dryer. Thank you Karen.
