Everything you could possibly need and more, and nothing too much trouble for the owner. Fabulous area for the dog to run round in, we had a brilliant few days and a smashing pub over the road with great food and welcoming staff and customers.

The weather was awful, but the pod was so comfy it didn't matter! Small touches like the Christmas decorations and bedding were lovely, as we're the yummy mulled wine and biscuits. Andy and his wife were so nice and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend and we are hoping we can stay again in the future.
