The property was presented beautifully.The property was great for our two small dogs.Suggestions-add a bath mat- perhaps a small fold away table and a couple of chairs. A small TV would be great.The microwave was not working!We would definitely recommend the property.

My husband and pups had a lovely stay at Frankie Manor. The tiny home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay to explore Newcastle. It had a private entrance which made it easy for us to come and go. Communication with Nicole was also easy and we appreciated the recommendation of the local dog friendly cafe.
