Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as immaculate and well-maintained, which indicates a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The location is celebrated for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions. However, a few guests have noted the access road's condition, particularly during adverse weather, which slightly impacts the location score.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests finding the accommodation cosy and the beds comfortable. Some guests felt the space was a bit small for larger parties, which slightly affects the comfort score.
Facilities like the hot tub are frequently praised, and the presence of farm animals adds to the charm. Some guests suggested improvements in kitchenware, and the mention of thin walls indicates room for enhancement in facilities and maintenance.
Many guests appreciate the thoughtful touches such as complimentary Prosecco, biscuits, and fresh eggs. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such offerings are subject to availability and are not guaranteed.

Hot tub was amazing, animals were fantastic, Ronnie the little baby is super sweet. It was lovely and warm in the actual property. We got beautiful weather so we had a ball. It was a really good experience. Would go back! Thank you!

Stuart made us feel very welcome. The house was warm and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed watching and interacting with the many animals, including bottle feeding a baby alpaca! The hot tub was a perfect place to relax with a glass of Prosecco.

Second time staying on this farm. Staff very helpful. The place is immaculate and very well set up. Love the animals nearby and staff even brought an alpaca to our garden area. Very helpful with the snow and getting stuck to allow us to get home! Already rebooked for next year !!
