We were only there for a very short time, arrived late and left early, so we can't say very much about the place. We didn't get to meet Chris or the two dogs, but Mel and the cats were very nice and friendly. It was very convenient to be able to park in the driveway. The rather strong pet smell was a bit off-putting, but it didn't stop us from having a great night's sleep in a very comfortable bed. Private bathroom was a big plus.
