They are pleased to have installed a EV charger for electric car;. reasonable charge rates apply. The owners have 2 gentle dogs who will have a warm welcome for guests dogs . We have a relaxed attitude and will expect you to have your own space and time whilst staying with them but will be on hand if needed for any advice or help you may need.
