Lovely clean apartment, friendly beautiful village and surrounding area. Extremely dog friendly!
Lovely apartment, room enough for a family and even the Labrador felt at home.
Excellent location by the church, parking and using the facilities were hassle free.
Walks by the river and countryside just a few minutes away by foot and paw, many choices for pubs, restaurants and cafes or a short drive out for other options within easy reach.
Couldn’t have asked for more, stocked with welcome gifts and comfort, clean and full of nice to have (plus easy to use) tech too.
Home from home with a lot of thought gone into what a family, couple or pooch may need!

Short Stay
Absolutely wonderful property and we would definitely recommend. We did not get chance to visit the town as we were visiting for a wedding but the town looks lovely with lots of restaurants and shops, all within walking distance. The property was spotlessly clean and modern. We also had treats left, which were greatly appreciated. Communication and instructions were all clear. Thank you very much, five stars all round.

This property was absolutely spot on. Traditional building but with lovely modern interior with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Lots of nice little welcoming touches from the hosts too especially in the kitchen with bread, milk and lots of other things being provided which was a lovely surprise. Area very quiet but also very close to local amenities. Would definitely recommend.

We love Muddy Boots
This was the most lovely flat we have stayed during our trip through the UK. It was cosy, super clean and very modern. We‘ve tried to encounter every detail. It seemed impossible. There were so many. The love of our hosts for there guests on two and four legs was noticeable. The dog enjoyed her treats and so did the humans. Not only Moody Boots was perfekt but also the surroundings. A very lovely countryside and a nice little city as well. A definitive recommandation. Thank you very much. We hope to visit again. Best wishes from Germany
