The accommodation features two beautiful bedrooms - one king-size with en-suite shower room and TV, plus a super king-size zip-and-link that can be made into twins. Both rooms have their own TVs because nobody wants to argue about what to watch after a long day exploring. There's also a family bathroom with bath and hand-held shower.

Visit Whitlingham Country Park (great café too!), explore the countless dog-friendly beaches within 30-45 minutes' drive, or simply relax in your fully enclosed courtyard garden. The bubbling hot tub is perfect for evening soaks under the fairy lights - worth every penny of the additional £50 fee. Trust me, nothing beats a glass of wine while get massaged by hot water jets.
