Doug's place is wonderful, especially for pet owners. When we moved to Scotland, we were at this location for a month while waiting on a long term let. The dogs absolutely loved the big yard and the cows next door. Doug was very accommodating to many of our needs with moving to the UK. The neighbour's are great also. Wonderful folks.
