    “In a lovely quiet position on the Park, Merewood has all the facilities and lots of thoughtful touches towards accommodating the dog with extra fluffy throw blankets and although we had taken our own there was a dog bowl, and a floor cover to stand it on etc.”

    Would love to revisit at some stage in the future.
