Not a FAN! What looked idyllic when booking, turned out to be nothing like it. A wonderful setting it seemed, based at an old stables, with Jacuzzi and located in a small wooded area, should have been amazing. However! No one mentioned the huge greenhouses close by with experimental crops in, that needed to be kept cool apparently, with the help of huge industrial fans going all night and day! Took 3 days of complaining, and being accused of being over sensitive to sound, told nothing we can do, nobody else has complained! for them to reduce the noise to something even close to bearable, "reluctantly" moving some crops to another part of the greenhouse so using less fans. When we finally had them off for less than 2 days out of 7, it was blissful. Measured the fans at 90db when close to them, 20m from the accommodation, 29db when off. Was a constant hum all week. When they kicked in as temperatures rose, we had to go inside for some peace. Ruined what could have been amazing. The rest of the place was ok, not as clean as could be, washing machine old, no new towels offered despite being there a week. Jacuzzi old and only partially working. Tom was nice, his wife was very "forthright" shall we say and had no interest in our complaint. Wouldn't go back.
