Negatives- The games room was a barn where birds could enter and there was bird droppings all over the pool table and other games tables. The hot tub was not accessible for a wheelchair user and the steps did not have a handrail making it challenging for users with poor balance and mobility. Worst of all the property run out of gas on Tuesday morning and was not refilled until Thursday morning, meaning 2 full days without heating, hot water and gas hob/oven was unusable, we were told this was not the ownerâs fault and were given a meal from the pub as compensation which in our opinion does not equate to 2 days without basic facilities.

The house is well furnished and comfortable. The hot tub is great fun and the bed rooms are lovely. We had plenty of space and came home very happy. The chickens and dogs were very friendly (not in an overwhelming way.) and made us feel just as welcome as the owners. The welcome booklet was filled with all the info we needed plus lots of practical information about the local areas which really helped us. We would be very happy to stay there again.
