Well arranged and positioned for visitors with a dog. Located close enough to main road connections to easily get to local facilities and attractions but far enough from nearest main road for noise not to be a problem. The welcome pack of goodies (for both humans and dogs) was excellent. We would certainly stay here again if we visit the area.

The kitchen is well equipped and has many extras you wouldnât expect in a holiday property. Everywhere was spotless, plenty of towels and hot water. There is a private area to sit out at the rear, a lovely spot to dine outside. We found the WiFi to be pretty non existent even though there is a BT hub. The pub opposite was closed but there is another within walking distance but check opening times as we got caught out!
