Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the property's spotless condition and fresh bed linen, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the farmhouse.
The farmhouse is celebrated for its beautiful, peaceful location with easy access to walking trails and local attractions. Some guests noted difficulty in finding the property and navigating the access road, but overall the location is highly regarded.
Reviewers frequently commend the comfort of the beds and the cosy, homely feel of the property, suitable for a range of ages. The ample space and quality furnishings contribute to the comfortable atmosphere.
The property is well-equipped for large groups, with a kitchen that satisfies even professional chefs. However, some guests experienced issues with hot water and minor maintenance, slightly impacting the score.
The hosts are praised for their helpfulness and thoughtful gestures, such as flowers and champagne. While such gifts are warmly received, they are a bonus and not a guaranteed feature of the stay.

Curtains should have black out linings.We asked for wine glasses with stems and did not get any so had to buy them. We asked for large cafetières but did not get any just told they had been broken previously. we discovered that the heating was remotely controlled which seems strange. I had to phone up to get the heating turned down. We got an internet shop from Sainsburys which was good. The cooker is very hard to operate it took three brains to work out the controls even with the instructions.The microwave is poor at 700 watts so is slow. Views great.

The property is brilliant in all aspects and we enjoyed our stay. Beautiful countryside with lovely views. If I were to nitpick though, the only problem I had was with the wifi. I was foolish enough to think I could work for a couple of days during the stay but with a terrible wifi and zero cellular reception, this was impossible.
