Country Stay
The description of the accommodation was accurate. I was not under any illusions and it fitted my needs. I was grateful to be able to bring my dogs. Sharing bathroom/toilet with owners was a little disconcerting, to find a middle of the night toilet stop meant I had to flush the toilet before I used it.
