Perfect. Loved the big garden so our dog could run and have fun where he is usually kept on a lead on walks. Always clean. Found this place last year and had several little stays and look forward to our next one. Also my husband loves trains so perfect spot. ##### Jacky Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David T. 30 Nov 2025 ##### David T. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ---
