Lovely comfortable house, the walks in the grounds were great with our labrador, he loved it.

Such a warm and cosy cottage, we found it well equipped and so peaceful. We loved the 'dog box' with treats, bowls etc which made us feel that our dog was as welcome as we were. Elisabetta responded promptly to any requests and was friendly and supportive, throughout our stay.
