Stafford House is an amazing destination property for families with dogs. It has plenty of room for everyone and had very thoughtful touches throughout the house. A well stocked kitchen and everything you could need for a stay in good and bad weather. The pool with it's hot tub and sauna take the stay to another level and we didn't want to leave.
