Brilliant
Was a bit small with our dog and the weather was terrible. But very cozy, tidy little place. One thing it needed was a TV. Great view of the pond with the ducks in front of the Tiny Away unit.

Wonderful host and location
Sophie has done an excellent job creating a little slice of paradise near Nelson. She was extremely friendly (popped over a bottle of milk and some snacks which was lovely and unexpected!), and allowed for total relaxation. I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting. 10/10
