10/10 Excellent
"Jeff was fantastic. Very responsive and made us feel very welcome—a home away from home.We had a lovely stay with the family and our beloved dog. The garden was amazing, secure, and our dog loved it. My brother stayed over for an additional night and said how lovely Jeff and his wife were and looked after him very well.Will be back."
