We loved the welcome pack especially the tennis ball our dog played with constantly. It's fully equipped and very comfortable. Just being next to the woods was so beautiful, by the end of the week we were all so so relaxed. Would most certainly recommend for anyone wanting to be amongst nature especially if you have a dog
