Would have liked some logs in basket and fire hadn't been cleaned out , bath panel not fixed but other than that perfect break and would love to return.

Comfortable. Ground clearance on driveway a problem for low vehicles, in some parts. WiFi intermittent combined with poor mobile signal made planning trips tricky. Take maps! Lovely area, lots to see and do.

Perfect place for children with all the farm animals and the big playground. There is a problem with the hot water. The owner fixed it on the first or second day,but two days later it was cold again. We could have called him,but we didnât.
