Our Scotties, Angus and Islay, had a fantastic time as well. How many properties have a dog exercise field? Thanks again and can't wait to come back.

Very warm welcome from our hosts Gaynor and Neil who live in the farm. The barn was spotlessly clean and all the appliances were top class. The ground floor is open plan and huge. You may think that this would make it feel cold but with the under floor heating it was toasty without using the log burner. Large double bed was very comfortable. Private enclosed garden is a must for us with our dogs. There is also a large dog exercise field which is adjacent to the horse harness racing track and our dogs loved trying to out sprint the horses when they were being trained. Before anybody says that this was irresponsible, it was carried out with the full permission of Neil who was driving the horses at the time. The area is spectacular with lots of top class eating places. I couldn't recommend Orcaber Barn more highly. The owners also have a caravan and camping park across the road but unless you went looking for it you wouldn't know that it was there .
