The property is appreciated for its quiet, rural setting on a working farm, away from noise and commotion, with the coast and local attractions within a short drive. However, amenities are not immediately on hand, requiring a short trip to the nearest shop and pub.
The accommodation is described as comfortable and well-equipped, with a warm building and a swimming pool that was particularly enjoyed. However, some guests mentioned issues with squeaky floorboards and a lack of locks on bathroom doors.
Facilities like the swimming pool and playground are highlights, though some maintenance issues such as non-working radiators and the need for repairs in the playground were reported. The kitchen was well-stocked and the heating effective.
No mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches were made in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category. It should be noted that while gifts can enhance a stay, they are not guaranteed.

We had a fantastic weekend here. Kids really enjoyed the use of the swimming pool. The old work shop was really homely. Few issues with radiators in bathrooms not working but the home was warm enough. E didnt report this as didnt get a chance as always in and out have messaged on return home. Ceiling in downstairs bedroom looks like it previously had a leak. Good value for money and we will defiently be returning.

Very spacious and sympathetically restored.I understand it was an old farm workhouse however the floorboards upstairs definitely need some attention. Decor could probably do with an overhaul.Lovely setting.
