Unfortunately we had a few issues the worst of which was there was only one exit route in case of fire. The patio door didnât open which I did report and was told it would be sorted but never was. There is a door which leads onto the farm yard but it is locked from the outside with a private do not use sign on it. In all I felt vulnerable with no usable exits if something had happened. Maybe just me. There was a considerable amount of cobwebs everywhere and I mean everywhere. As I said beautiful and I would return if these issues were sorted

Camilla was a great host and replied to any questions immediately, she could not have been any more helpful. We would rate our stay as 5 out of 5 if the garden was secure. Unfortunately our dog couldnât enjoy the garden as she would follow her nose through the fence into the next property or head to the farm house. This would probably stop us from returning especially in the coming months when it would be lovely to sit out in the garden.An extra couple of slats of wood would make it completely secure and prevent Mollys interest in the beautiful cats.
