    For us, with 3 cocker spaniels the location was ideal. The room and bed spacious.

    Lovely, stay with exactly what we needed!

    Our room was lovely and exceptionally clean, with more space than I was expecting. The grounds were also very pleasant!

    There could have been a bit more choice at breakfast time. This was the only downside.
