Guests find the beds very comfortable and the living spaces cosy and accommodating. However, some guests noted the sofas were low, which may affect the elderly, and a suggestion for a stair gate indicates room for improvement in comfort for all guests.
The property is well-equipped with a conservatory, jacuzzi bath, and a large garden with a trampoline and swing. Some guests mentioned low doorways and the need for clearer instructions on waste management. The restriction on pet movement within the house was a concern for some.
While guests have mentioned thoughtful gestures such as a bottle of local wine on arrival, there is not enough information to determine if such gifts are a consistent offering. Therefore, it is politely noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

We find itâs an excellent family accommodation. We were 5 adults & one 3 year old, & she had plenty to occupy her in the home & surrounding farmland. Glad to see the recycling has been sorted too.
