We have had a great week at this lovely farmhouse. Absolutely beautiful spot, very welcoming owner and more than dog friendly. We where there with six adults and tree dogs. Plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen. The weather was kind to us so that was even more special. We would love to come back any time soon.

We, 3 adults & 3 dogs, loved it so much. The setting is truly beautiful and we spent many hours looking at the view. The lane leading to the cottage is quiet and we found it was possible to let our dogs off the lead when walking to the included dog field (a great added bonus!). The cottage itself is homely and comfortable. There is lots of room andRead more many amenities provided. The hosts are wonderful people and on hand to help but not intrusive.

Very peaceful location with wonderful views and a fantastic Variety of birds visiting the garden including woodpeckers.

The farmhouse is an ideal location for dog owners who wants to get away from it all but others may find its isolation and the long drives too much.
