Budget Getaways Review

Sometimes we all need a break, far from the madding crowds, Whatsapp groups and the blue screen. Cue Dog's Folly.

What we have here is an historic family home right in the hub of this quaint village. Ideally located on the main gravel road opposite the old Rhodes Hotel (meaning ice cold frosties on tap), this self-catering gem is the perfect resting spot.

With four bedrooms (twin and three Queens, and an extra single bed in one of these) and three bathrooms, Dog's Folly can comfortably manage nine happy guests. What's more, your loyal four-legged buddy is welcome to join you, subject to prior arrangement.

Still proudly boasting it original doors, creaky wooden floors and sash windows, Dog's Folly conjures old-school country living vibe.

The fully equipped kitchen (with gas hob) sits alongisde the dining room and its solid eight-seater table.

The proverbial heart of the home, the living room comes with an original fireplace that's ready and waiting to warm those tooties after a winter's day out. 

Right in the action, neat and comfortable, this one will leave you recharged and refreshed.

Guest Reviews

"A quaint place in a quaint village lost in time. Rhodes is a delightful venue but needs lots of new investment. House comfortable with everything one needed. "

"Thank you for a delightful stay at a homely, clean and beautiful house!"
