Nice, clean, tidy on arrival, although a working farm there wasn't much noise from it & we hardly saw anybody. My only advice to the owners when they come around to the refurbishment is to remove the bath & fit a walk in shower, the screen currently allows water all over the floor & getting into & out of the bath is awkward, but that is a personal thing & does not detract from the cottage. The area is very quiet, nice walks/cycling on the doorstep, the fish & chip shop along with the kebab/pizza takeaway are both very good in Gayton (they will deliver, but we didn't risk it)

Two days later we came back to a leak in the kitchen from the roof due to adverse weather conditions. Phoned the manager who immediately contacted the farm and they very kindly moved us into the barn. However there was a serious ingress of water into the ground floor bedroom and the smell of the rising damp had been masked by the over powering smell of bleach. The builder came out to silicone around the window but we would suggest they look at the rising damp.
