The top field was perfect for the dogs to safely play, the bottom garden is not fully enclosed so could not easily leave dogs or children unattended. The swings, Climbing frame and football net was a winner with the children. Following a long journey we arrived at the property half an hour early but were unable to get in as the cleaners were still there so had to hang around which was a little annoying. We encountered a couple of issues during our stay including the gas bottles running empty. Giles was always contactable and pleasant and sorted out any issues quickly.

A lovely house in a lovely location. The gardens are beautiful and I particularly liked the winding pathway round the bamboo. Could happily have stayed forever. Thank you for the welcome basket, it was a lovely touch. We would love to come back again one day.

The room amenities were nicely done, spacious and rooms were comfortable. The sleep quality was excellent, maybe might want to change the master bedroom mattress but other than that overall felt like like l was sleeping at home. Giles was a phone call away if we needed help and he went above and beyond to help us with our stay. I think you should update the pictures cause you are under advertising the house. We highly recommend Waterland Farmhouse ,very clean and comfortable and would gladly come back
