    Lovely welcome pack which humans and dog enjoyed. Kitchen exceptionally well equipped, decor and furnishings throughout of high quality. Felt at home, relaxed and very comfortable. On site EV charger was a great bonus. Hope to return.

  • Julie

    Just a couple of things we thought could have been done, putting blinds in living room and kingsize bedroom to make it more private. We did have a lovely relaxing holiday there and would recommend it. The kingsize mattress was so comfy we ordered one when we got home.

  • James

    It is really a home from home, very well equipped, it even has a slow cooker. Lovely secure garden for the dogs and the electric charger is a huge bonus and well priced. Recommend the food at the local.oub the Red Lion, this is a true locals pub so can get loud. The local Panacea is also worth a visit.
