While the reviews are positive about the general state of the property, there is insufficient information to accurately score the facilities and maintenance. Some guests did not mind the absence of a dishwasher or microwave, but there were issues raised about noise from ongoing work.

Only to receive £107 bill when we get home with an invoice for a whole new set of bedding, there was one sheet damaged but they decided to go shopping. They take advantage of young people claiming "oily substance possibly lubricant" was on there too which is completely false and down right disgusting to help substantiate their claim. They provide ZERO evidence of the damage for the rest they claim, additionally purchased very expensive new items when the previous were cheap and old. I am repulsed, absolutely stay away. Their workers on the farm are uninviting too and it is very noisy in the early hours.
