    Weekend stay at Dobbin the horsebox.

    Absolutely stunning views. Dobbin as everything you need and is very comfortable and cosy. Thanks to Jill and her husband who lit the log burner for us before we arrived making it lovely and warm, and for checking we had everything we need. Would definitely recommend to family and friends, and will definitely be staying again.

    Peace and Tranquility

    We had the most peaceful time. The accommodation aka Dobbin is set in the grounds of a Manor house with the only neighbours being the horses from next door. There are uninterrupted views of hills which are breathtaking. The owners even offered to get shopping for us, above and beyond without a doubt. We will definitely be back.

    Poor Dobbin

    Arrived and left within 10 minutes after cleaning dirt from surfaces and determining it wasn’t fit to stay in. Dark, dank and dirty.
