Sadly it was too wet and chilly to sit outside on the very private patio, which is surrounded by trees and lawn, but it would be lovely in the warmer weather. The friendly owners live in the adjoining property, and are keen to ensure that everything is well for their visitors.

Disappointed that the area was not very dog friendly, with very few dog exercising places, had to travel a fair distance to let them run free.
