Home away from home

Although wet had a wonderful relaxing stay. Real down time in somewhere that felt like a home away from home. Lynley and Dan are great hosts and gave recommendations on where to go and where I could take my dog. Will definitely stay again as still have some walks to do. The breakfast goodies were really appreciated. I highly recommend staying here
