Guests say
Brookbank Farm is a spacious and beautiful cottage, ideal for large groups seeking a rustic experience with modern comforts like a hot tub. The property is praised for its ample space, cleanliness, and great location for social gatherings. The picturesque garden and proximity to local pubs add to its charm, although some guests noted farm-related odours and flies outdoors.
The property is consistently described as clean, with one review specifically mentioning that the whole house was very clean.
The location is generally appreciated for its proximity to local attractions and pubs, though there are comments about farmyard smells and flies, which slightly detract from the outdoor experience.
Guests find the property comfortable, with multiple reviews highlighting the ample space and comfortable beds, making it suitable for large groups.
Facilities like the hot tub are well-received, but there was a significant issue with hot water availability that affected the overall experience for one group of guests.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches from the hosts that would indicate thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Rubina
The cottage itself is beautiful and very spacious, making it ideal for accommodating large groups comfortably. Unfortunately, we encountered a significant isue with the hot water. From the very first day, none of the seven bathrooms had hot water. Although we reported this promptly and the owner asured us it would be resolved, the problem persisted throughout our entire stay. Having to take only cold showers was extremely disappointing and impacted our overall experience. The garden is attractive and has great potential for outdoor enjoyment. However, guests should be aware that the cottage is surrounded by working farms. This brings strong farmyard smells and a large number of flies, which made it difficult to spend time outdoors or leave windows open without insects coming inside.

Lovely building, in a great location.Plenty of room for our group of 12, and the hot tub was great.Lots of places to visit in the area, so farm wasn't used much in the day, but was good to come back to and spend the evenings together.
