The garden was brilliant, yes itâs not completely secure, but as our dog is big she couldnât get through the fence and the only other gaps are by where you park the cars. Next doors dog did appear on the garden a few times so that could be an issue for some. The oil boiler is a different smell to what we are all used to at home but for us it wasnât an issue and we spent many hours in the kitchen enjoying the space. A barrier at the bottom of the stairs would be a good addition to stop four legged friends going upstairs. And the quirky doors not shutting adds to the charm but maybe the couple of gaps in the downstairs bathroom door could be filled in. So would I recommend Hill Farmâ¦. 100%. YES!!

We were booked in for a week, but only could stay 3 nights, as there was an awful smell from the boiler when it fired up, and it was not heathy, we reported it to the number given to us and was told there was nothing wrong with the boiler, it was coming from outside, but reading a feedback that has not gone on your website other people have raised the issue of the boiler !!!! There was no teapot in the cottage which after ringing the Owner who was away on holiday, got someone to drop one off, but said there has never been a one in the cottage. !!!! Then thereâs more dirty utensils, we had to wash everything and the freezer had four drawer but couldnât get them open properly because it all needed defrosting, I told the Owner but she couldnât do anything because she was away on holiday, I was on holiday as well!!!! Dirty baking trays which I have thrown better away. The light switch cord in the upstairs bathroom was to say the least filthy. We reported this all to Sykes, but on a plus side of things the beds were very comfortable. .

It's a beautiful house and garden and had all the necessities. it was very clean, cosy and warm and the beds were very comfortable! A couple of things we might suggest to make it a little more dog friendly: As dogs are not allowed upstairs, maybe a stair gate would be handy. A fully fenced garden would make it so that everyone could relax a little more and dogs can enjoy the lovely big garden. (We had a little visitor a couple of times in the garden, in the shape of a cute dog who I assume lives on the farm, not a problem for us but could be for some people/dogs). One more suggestion would be to add a BBQ to make the most of the garden. The only complaint would be that the boiler in the kitchen does give off quite a strong oil smell. Thank you for a lovely stay.
