We had a very enjoyable stay. The Bach was perfectly located for us as we were visiting our daughter who lives just minutes away. We also enjoyed exploring the local area. We felt very relaxed and comfortable and our elderly greyhound, Rocky, enjoyed the garden and snoozing by the fire. Thank you to the excellent hosts and for allowing dogs; we would definitely like to stay here again.
