Took our two dogs to stay in this lovely glampng pod.
Took our two dogs to stay in this lovely glampng pod. It’s warm, comfortable and clean. The location is great for exploring the local area. The owners are friendly and welcoming and they seem to have thought of pretty much everything you could possibly need. I would definitely recommend staying here. Oh, and the eggs from the chickens and geese were delicious.
