Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with well-kept bathrooms and tidy bedrooms. However, a few guests noted areas that could benefit from deeper cleaning, such as under sofas and in the ovens. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a widespread issue.
The location is considered ideal, with its proximity to local points of interest and the convenience for families arriving from different directions. The rural setting offers tranquillity and beautiful views, enhancing the overall appeal of the property.
Guests consistently report a high level of comfort, with ample space, comfy beds, and a warm welcome. The property caters well to large groups, providing a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The presence of a games room and spacious garden adds to the comfort level.
The facilities are generally excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen, ample dining space, and entertainment options. Some guests mentioned issues with shower pressure and minor maintenance needs, but these do not significantly detract from the overall high standard of facilities.
The owner's thoughtfulness is frequently highlighted, with mentions of welcome drinks and prompt responses to queries. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, although common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Matthew
Beer and wine in the fridge which was a nice touch and the place was nice and warm on arrival, the owner fitted a stair gate for us as we had small children with us. The house is surrounded by fields and was very quiet which was perfect. The main problem with the property was the cleanliness of the property, the ovens where dirty, so once switched on it created a fair amount of smoke which set off the smoke alarms waking the small children in the party. Freezer and fridge had left over bits of food in them . Under the sofas (which to be fair are pretty low to the ground so wont get a weekly clean) but found 3 full chicken nuggets under them. (one of the babys toys and gone under it) windows in sitting room where dirty and hadnt been washed in a while. A few little maintenance issues, the door handle on the back door came off due to the screw holes being too big for the screws. water came through the ceiling at one point due to the upstairs shower being on. Shower in main bathroom was missing an o ring which meant the water shot back down the tube and very little came out of the shower head. the temp lock on the shower was broken, so the water could very easily be turned to scalding, If you looking for a place to just use as a base and explore the area, its great, huge rooms, great sized kitchen and sitting room, with plenty of bathrooms with the added benefit of a massive games room, however we spent a fair part of our stay in the property and the few little areas that needed improvement started to bother us.

Ideal place for large groups very well equipped with all amenities including a fantastic games room only downside is the isolation or this could be a plus side for some it's very hard to get taxis around the area so if your going out at night to sample Ripley book early but the farm itself can't be faulted

Nick was very welcoming, he also put some drink in the fridge for when we arrived . Bedrooms all a good size , and very nice. Whole house was a great size for 16 people & 3 dogs . Kitchen is very well equipped and a great size, only 1 item missing was a hand whisk . Games room was a big hit also the size of the garden for 3 dogs . Great views all around. Overall a great house, will definitely be returning.
