The farmhouse is repeatedly noted for its comfort, with ample living space and warm, cosy rooms. A few guests mentioned issues with hot water and heating, but these seem to be isolated incidents rather than the norm.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of space for relaxation and socialising. However, some guests reported maintenance issues such as loose toilet seats and problems with the oven, which slightly lowers the score.
The housekeeper, Kim, is frequently mentioned for her helpfulness, and guests have noted kind gestures such as flowers and champagne. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, though delightful, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

One of the best equipped we've ever stayed at and a very nice welcome pack on arrival. Lovely walks straight from the door. Would highly recommend Deerclose West Farmhouse.

We very much enjoyed our stay. However there were several important issues that need sorting. Hot tap in the kitchen was a dribble, oven went onto dangerous cleaning cycle while grilling. Many of the toilet seats are loose and slip, in use. No firewood on arrival or when reported as missing. When lighting log burner in the down stairs living room it causes the master thermostat to shut off the heating to the rest of the house.
