What can I say other than this was the perfect stay for us and our dog Ollie! The ease of check in, to the spa services and just the tranquility of the location, it was perfect. Although we had rain each day we were there, we still made the most of our stay. The large window watching the rain fall made it feel so cosy. It was our first time bringing our dog with us and it turned out better than expected! A relaxing, quiet and just wholesome staycation, would highly recommend!
