Hayley was very friendly and helpful. So cosy, miles from anywhere, no mobile reception or wi-fi. Blissful. More than dog friendly with treats, dog bowls, dog towel, doggie blanket and our very own dog field.

The photos on the page are a little old as i am basin this on the hedge in front is now at least 15ft high and the end of the cabin with the honey suckle can hardly be seen.This was not a problem ,its dog safe all round .The lounge area is cumfy,the bed is a bit creaky when you get in and out and getting round the bottom of the bed was a bit challenging,due to a very small gap :) The shower is great and the kitchen has all you need but is basic.The deck area outside could do with jet washing and re staining as when its wet is like a skating rink.The steps on each end need some work on as they are rotting .But all this said we had a fantastic week and we think you have something great here and with a bit of work will have something fantastic .Loved our stay even though it was a heat wave ,had a great time .
