Our host was very accommodating and allowed us to stay with two dogs. The cottage was really well equipped and thoughtfully furnished. We were warmly welcomed and thought the hamper was a fantastic surprise. Our human family had a fantastic time in the pool and the canine members enjoyed the gardens and local area. We would definitely stay again! It was a relaxing and easy process from start to finish. I highly recommend a visit.

Perfect short get away

This place was amazing, the scenery, the local places to visit and the spectacular Callow Hall Hotel, where I have my fantastic birthday meal and cocktails. I would definitely return maybe in the summer this time so we can make the most of the pool. Many Thanks for a relaxing get away.
