Very comfortable beds and bedding. But the property requires some maintenance. It is looking very tired. The gardens are very overgrown and no working WI-FI although it was advertised as having it.

It is in an excellent position, the bed was comfortable and the house warm and pleasant. However, generally speaking the place is a bit tired, particularly the bathroom and kitchen white goods (the fridge decided to freeze everything on our second night) and could do with some updating. On arrival the central heating did not work and neither did the WiFi. We contacted Shane and the next day both problems were sorted out by himself and BT. The central light in the bathroom did not work but that was not a problem as the mirror light was sufficient.

Slightly hard to find, Google Maps using the postcode take you to a different nearby farm (although there were pretty good directions to the cottage in the welcome email which I hadnât read); coordinates are (54.3336507, -0.8400776) or what3words ///acids.movie.maps if that helps any future visitors using a sat-nav to direct them. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, wish it had been longer because nobody wanted to leave.
