The home was warm and welcoming. The 7 of us had a wonderful time. The kitchen was very well stocked with very good quality cooking and serving dishes and utensils. Our Yorkie poo was at home in her own bed and truly enjoyed the small dog treats at the front door. The view each morning was the start to a very relaxing day. The welcoming basket was a sweet touch. Would definitely stay there again.
