This is a lovely venue with a huge garden which the dogs loved.For once your satnav is reliable in getting you there but it is hard to spot with a very small nameplate on a telegraph pole next to the wooden gate.It is near many fantastic places to visit and great walks. Care is needed getting in and out due to the busy road with minimal verge.It isn't suitable for wheelchair users due to steps and narrow doors in and out of bathrooms.

This stay was lovely, such a bonus to stay with a utility room when you have young children and a dog that loves exploring. The indoor and outdoor spaces were all really charming and felt really safe- we particularly liked the wooden area and toasted marshmallows. It’s great to be able to go away with friends but also have your own space with the second property that also has a living area space too- we look forward to returning and would recommend a stay here. We did pass the entrance on the way to it as it is a busy road and not so easy to see the house name - however once in and you are in the back garden area it is so peaceful. We have already recommended this place to friends.
