Jude could not have been more helpful and was on hand if needed. There was the added bonus of scones - made by Jude with jam and cream which was very thoughtful and enjoyed by us. Everything you could need is provided including a dog bed. The garden is large and was very much enjoyed by our dog. We hope to return next year. This is one of the best places we have stayed in so thanks to the owners for letting us have the pleasure of staying there.
