Guests say
The Old Farmhouse in Duloe is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and dog-friendly amenities. Guests appreciate the well-maintained woodland walks, enclosed garden, and the thoughtful welcome with essentials like bread, milk, and eggs. The property is equipped with quality furnishings and offers a peaceful countryside experience, though the steep stairs and access road may be challenging for some.
Guests consistently mention the cleanliness of the farmhouse, describing it as clean and fresh upon arrival, which indicates a high level of cleanliness.
The location is appreciated for its peaceful countryside setting and proximity to dog walking areas and beaches. However, the access road is noted as challenging, slightly affecting the score.
The comfort of the beds and the overall accommodation is frequently highlighted, suggesting a very comfortable stay. The presence of a stair gate and the mention of steep stairs are noted.
Facilities are well-regarded with a gas-powered barbecue, hot tub, and fully equipped kitchen. Maintenance is prompt as the owner resolved issues quickly, but the mention of a 'faff' with the stair gate and the need for more equipment information slightly lowers the score.
The provision of essentials upon arrival and the accommodation of dogs demonstrate thoughtfulness. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed.

Would have like to see more equipment information .. The Old Farmhouse was extremely well equipped including all that is necessary for a comfy stay. However I did take a large amount of extra's which I didn't need and would not have taken if I'd had a full inventory.
