    The kitchen was well stocked (although l missed having a steamer!)the bathroom warm,the shower perfect. The view from the very comfortable bed was beautiful. There were many little touches,fresh flowers,dog towels,brushes,poo bags. Homemade jam,eggs,bread,Welsh cakes and milk. Very dog friendly secure large garden for dogs with a field next door we could let them chase the ball in(luckily no livestock during our stay). We were able to visit many places within an hour or less. Owners next door were lovely and the stay was topped by seeing the Northern lights on our last night!
