About this apartment rental

ALL ABOUT THE INSIDE:
Entry is through the front door into the well lit entrance lobby which has plenty of room for coats, boots and leads.

Lounge
Off the hallway is the large and well fitted lounge. Leather sofas give enough seating for 8 and the original brick fireplace is a great feature with an electric, realistic looking electric woodburner. Huge TV and solid wood tables. The view out onto the front courtyard. There is a fascinating heavy horse harness collar on the wall, reflecting the history of the farm and a perfect corner for a large dog crate if your dog needs one.

Games Room 1
On the other side of the stairs is the games room with pool table, dart board and a great selection of other board games. Also a smaller, safe dart board for children. Some lovely seaside art on the walls too.

Games Room 2
Through the lounge there is a door leading to the secondary games room. This includes table tennis, table football, darts and more!

Library
Sit quietly in here for a bit of peace and quiet, reading time or laptop time. A selection seating, books and tables. You are more than welcome to take the books and replace them with your own. There is a toilet and sink in a separate room just off this. Back through the games room and left into the …

Kitchen and breakfast/dining room
Very well fitted galley style kitchen with lots of storage. Large 50/50 fridge/freezer, washing machine, dish washer, tumble drier, electric oven and hob, microwave, toaster, kettle. The breakfast bar faces the open plan breakfast/dining area which is on the other side of the kitchen, allowing a lot of socialising in this area and helping the cook! There is enough dining seating for 8, with a TV to watch too if you want.

Large Master bedroom with ensuite shower room
This room has a king-size bed with an additional single bed too (ideal for parents and a young child). Wardrobe and dressing table with drawers plus bedside cabinets and lamps. Lovely views out of the windows to the front of the house.

Master Bedroom with ensuite shower room
Another king size bed with wardrobe plus bedside cabinets and lights. There is a also a dressing table with drawers.

King size bedroom
With views over the back garden and fields beyond, this room has a king size bed, a wardrobe and bedside cabinets.

Twin bedroom
With views over the back garden and fields, this room has twin beds, a wardrobe and bedside cabinets.

Separate bathroom and toilet in between these 2 bedrooms. The bathroom has an over the bath shower. The toilet is next door but separate.

Conservatory
At the back of the kitchen there is a small conservatory leading out to the garden. Fitted with blinds to reduce the heat if needed and fitted with a separate heater for the colder weather. There is also a fan for those really hot days.

ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE:
At the front, when you arrive, parking is off the road and outside the house with plenty of room for 4 cars on the gravelled area. This area is gated and walled, so once in, you can safely let your dogs out. Minimum height approx 4ft and small dogs might be able to squeeze through the gate. However, the back garden is FULLY secure.

At the side of the house there is another gate, leading into the garden. Solid, high and lockable from the garden side with a notice on it to let anyone who might visit (highly unlikely) that dogs could be loose in the garden. You can also access the garden through the conservatory. Near to the gate is a large enclosed dog washing area for the muddy or sandy paws (the dogs or yours!) with towels provided.

The garden is fully secure with solid, high fencing and walls. Nothing can be seen by dogs outside of the garden. Mostly laid to grass with some mature shrubs. There is a patio/seating area to the side of the house.

There is some basic agility equipment stored in garden boxes that you can use if you want to have a play with your dogs. Please note this is only basic and is to be used at your own / your dog’s risk.

Tim and Tricia were fantastic hosts. Tim provided us with great information both before and during our stay - very thorough. The welcome pack was very welcome and lovely. The Farmhouse is comfortable, spacious and clean. Having 3 bathrooms was a huge benefit for us (with 2 young adults in the family). The games rooms were good fun. It was lovely to be able to relax and know our dog was safe, secure and relaxed - and we were too. We went on some great walks and it is well positioned for beaches and other days out and places to visit. The dog shower and agility equipment was a welcome bonus. We can't really fault it and would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse, the perfect 70th birthday getaway with plenty of room for the whole family. The facilities were impressive, and the welcome nibbles were generous and catered for all. They even included a birthday cake for the birthday boy, which was a lovely surprise. The games rooms were a huge hit. We enjoyed table tennis, fusball, pool, darts, chess and many other games throughout the week. It kept all ages happily entertained. The outside heated doggy shower was another brilliant touch. It made cleaning sandy, soggy dogs after beach trips quick and easy, and we appreciated it more than expected. Special thanks to Tim. He let the grandkids ride the miniature railway, which they absolutely loved. He also shared his amazing model railway with them. These thoughtful moments made the celebrations even more memorable. We felt truly welcomed and looked after. Thank you for making our family week so special.

It's hard to sum things up in a short piece of writing. The best place for dogs we have EVER stayed in. We felt so relaxed. So much to do you don't even need to leave the house. The welcome pack was supreme and Tim and Tricia gave us a lovely tour on arrival. It's in a lovely setting where you feel you are far away from noise, nice and secluded yet only about 10 minutes from a lovely town. Couldn't fault it

We had a fantastic time here, will definitely be back. Beautiful house and they couldn’t have done more. Especially as we had massive problems at the end of the holiday. The welcome pack for people and dogs was amazing.
