    Lovely cosy farmhouse, well set up for dogs - we used the back entrance which made it perfect for wet dogs. Great back garden. Lovely cosy and comfortable homely feel.

    La anfitriona encantadora. Nos hizo scones with jam and cream riquísimos. La casa es preciosa y está ubicada en un sitio tranquilo y muy bonito. No le falta detalle. Todo perfecto, muy limpio y las camas muy cómodas.
