We enjoyed our stay after putting aside a number of disappointments, the main one being that, despite the property description, there are no en-suite shower rooms - all showers are over bath and one en-suite only has a bath. The standard of cleaning was also a let down. Having said that, the house provides great accommodation - it was beautifully warm (the Aga in the kitchen is fantastic), has lots of comfortable seating and good tables for dining, the beds are great and it’s in an excellent location for getting to many local attractions. There was a generous welcome pack and, as it was December, a lovely real Christmas tree. There is wifi in the house but it struggled to support our usage.

This lovely farm house is probably the most relaxing and comfortable we have ever stayed in. There are a couple of issues but on the whole our stay was excellent. Two living rooms provided escape when needed, I learned to use an Aga and didn't ruin anything, plenty of space for kids to run around and tables for boardgames. The children appreciated that they were in a special house and adjusted their behaviour accordingly. I would rent this house again. Unfortnately our stay was ruined by an issue with one of our cars. It ended up in the workshop for 2 days which meant we didn't see as much as we wanted but the location is great.
