We always choose a property with a hot tub being a main feature of our stay and have booked weekends like this for over 15 years. Sadly, this property failed to provide a working hot tub for one whole day of our weekend, with very poor contact from the owners about our concerns, customer service is not a focus at this property. This property could be a five star review with comfortable living spaces and spacious luxury bedrooms and bathrooms. Sadly it lacked in some areas that unfortunately did affect our weekend stay. With some tweaks and attention to customer service this would have resulted in different feedback. We would not return to this property but wish the owners the very best and hope that they take this feedback into consideration.

Will stay again

We loved the place so much. only thing we found strange was there were no front door keys, only a back door key left in the key box. however this did not stop us enjoying ourselves. and access from the rear door or the patio doors gave us access to the front of the property. Farmer was very pleasant and we would just like to say thank you for providing such a wonderful stay
