Pros - Clean, tidy. - Cozy beds - Lovely walk up the hill. - Farm yard animals to watch. Cute little lambs. Cons. - Need little WD40 on the doors as they squeaky. Especially the bathroom. Hard to use at night as very noisy. - Lots of single lane tracks with lots of pot holes to the property.

Even though on a farm you would not know it was a working farm. The bed and bedding were super, kitchen well appointed and spacious bathroom. Outside reclining chairs would be nice for the sunny weather and perhaps a bit more screening from the tenanted cottages adjoining.
