  • We had a really lovely stay at this property. We took our two dogs. It was a very dog friendly property and the little touches for the dogs was fantastic. The property was clean and Sandra was very welcoming with great communication from the time of booking. I would love to return soon it was like home from home.

  • What a fabulous place! Sandra and Graham were extremely welcoming and very hospitable. The house is really well equipped and was spotlessly clean. We knew the area already, so didn’t need much guidance, but there was a lot of information available if we had needed it. The kitchen was very well equipped and the rest of the furniture new and very comfortable. We cannot recommend this place highly enough — you will love staying there.
