We did manage to find the lodge, despite the directions referring to a right turn when it should have been left. We understand that others may have been going to the wrong farms. The standard of the property was as expected from the images and the price we paid. That said, we had a problem with the shower room flooding and that was very disappointing and inconvenient when we were there for a whole week. The friendly owner was concerned and was to speak to his builder. There was no quick fix for us and we think shower doors are needed for both showers. The description failed to mention the dishwasher and so that was a pleasant surprise. Be aware that the âdouble roomâ is a double and not a king size bed as we would have hoped for in a property of this standard. We made the booking knowing that there was not a washing machine and drier. This was less than we would normally expect when staying for a week, even just for the purpose of freshening towels and especially with the flooding shower room. We wonder if the owner has had poor advice on this.

The entrance was absolutely ideal for charging my daughterâs electric wheelchair (she didnât need to use it inside) although Iâm sure there was plenty of room. However there is just one thing that would have been more beneficial and that is hand rails in the shower/wetroom. We hope to visit again.

But in general this is an amazing cottage, with excellent facilities.
