"Such a beautiful wee getaway! Lynne was probably the most realistic host in terms of being "pet friendly" that i have come across - she very clearly knows how dogs behave and doesn't have unrealistic expectations around things like barking at other animals, the fencing was safe, and Lucy had the best time.The warm snuggly fire was perfect for the cold evenings, and we loved the outdoor baths. Having our chosen wine ready on arrival, as well as lots of beautiful wee touches around the place.Such a great weekend getaway, thank you so much!"
