    We also took our dog who was very happy in the utility area with the occasional foray into the kitchen/lounge. The property is beautifully appointed with the very best in soft furnishings, bedding and good towels. There was far more than we expected provided in the property and we were delighted with the very generous welcome pack. The property is beautifully positioned on the mere and 5 minutes from the beach. There are two good eating places on the mere and we had a lovely Sunday lunch at 'The Dolphin' pub. I couldn't have been happier with the property and if I want another break away with family, or friends, we will be back.

    Thank you for your very kind comments! It is a family property and much loved by all of us too. I’m so glad it suited your purposes and maybe we will welcome you again. Property Owner
