Quiet and well kept site
We were disappointed with location and connection to walks which the description alluded to. To get to any walks you had to walk along the road and whilst most cars gave wide berth with a dog you were spending more time waiting for cars to pass. The Shining... Show more

Great little site but rubbish for dogs
