Jill and Stephen welcomed us as soon as we arrived to show us the place, and also, how to operate the fireplace. Our greyhound met their greyhound too which was really nice. The shed roof can get loud from rain, however they have ear plugs to counter for that :D. Incredible place, even in the winter - take advantage of the tastefully decorated reading spaces and fireplace with lots of places to hang and store your belongings too. Highly recommended.
