The accommodation is brilliant for a large group to spend quality time together. The facilities are excellent with the quality of the kitchen amenities really enabling a great catering experience for 16 people. The cinema room was great to host a family party and we thoroughly enjoyed our large Sunday lunch all together in the large dinning room. The hot tub fitted 5 comfortably and after getting used to the wood etc was really well used. Great location and communication with the owners too. We would recommend bringing your own hair driers, an oven glove and perhaps being provided with some dish washer tablets in a starter pack. Over all though we would come back as a great place at a great price!

There was plenty of room if you wanted a quiet time. The beds were very comfortable . A lot of time was spent by us all in the kitchen , dining room. I have to say we didnât like the bench seats at all, they were very uncomfortable. A few moans, the dishwasher had been used and not emptied when we arrived. There was a cupboard near Theo or to the left of the coolers which we cleaned as it had loose peanutâs scattered. There were no kitchen scissors, no rolling pin and no jug . We bought a plastic measuring jug and left it. The flys were horrendous and we understand that we are on a farm there are things that would help reduce them. There could have been a booklet which had information on the house, for pubs and eateryâs and emergency for owner or manager . It didnât deter us from having a great time, but I feel that with the rental cost being high these things should be of a very high standard.
