Can’t fault the hosts. Very welcoming however not intrusive. Great to see the our dogs and the hosts dogs playing together. Garden amazing with loads of seating areas. House itself was immaculate. Can’t fault it at all. Would definitively recommend

Great visit!
Great space! Had a lovely time. The second bedroom being in a different part of the building (one that is connected by a shared hallway/stairwell) that you could only access through the main bathroom was admittedly a bit awkward, but the space was cozy and comfortable otherwise.
