We were looking for a place to stay that was both clean and comfortable for the two of us, while also being suitable for our dog. Not easy to find! This lovely little Lockwood was just perfect and exceeded our expectations. The decor was a delightful mix of hotel chic and a homely bach feel. Very well set up with everything we needed, and more. Thank you, and we hope we are able to stay again.
