Could do with some comfy outdoor seating for the lovely garden. A folder for accommodation and local information would help greatly. Also feel should know in advance of stay that no WiFi and limited phone signal...even as "oldies" we still assume we could Google the local area once there! However lovely rural location on a working farm and a trip to Ludlow was delightful.
