We loved our stay but would recommend the host put in some lights at the back of the property so we could see our dog when out there doing her business. Also there is not enough bench space in the bathroom or ensuite. We did think it was expensive, but we have come to expect that now with pet friendly accommodation. Overall, a great place to stay.
