Joanne
The owners, John and Sarah completely lived up to all the reviews and were genuinely welcoming and helpful. John provided recommendations on places to visit and eat, all of which were lovely. The accommodation was beautiful, extremely clean and tidy with everything you need, a home from home. Our four legged friend was as welcome as we were, with no rules of what he could or couldnât do. He loved the enclosed field where he could run freely and was stretch his legs. I honestly could not recommend Lilyâs Pas enough, thank you John and Sarah.
