The property's location is frequently highlighted as excellent, with its quiet farm setting and proximity to local attractions. However, one guest mentioned difficulty in finding the farm sign at night, suggesting room for slight improvement.

We found it challenging on wet dark nights seeing the farm sign and drove past on two occasions so a reflective strip of some kind on the sign would assist greatly

The owners very friendly but not at all in your face. The location was good for us as we have family in the county. If however it's a sight seeing break that is needed, then Rode Farm is perfect.
