We had a lovely stay with our group of 3 adults, 2 teensand our dog. The owner was very friendly and greeted us upon arrival, always available if needed. The kitchen was super well-equipped, making cooking easy. The garden was mostly secure, just a tiny gap under the gate which we easily blocked to keep the dog safe. Loads of walks right from the doorstep, plus relaxing dips in the hot tub after. We also enjoyed a great meal at the nearby Cross Keys pub. Weâ€™d definitely come back again!
