Lots of flies but a working farm and fly trapper provided, fridge and oven door needs to be fixed. A guest book would be great for recommendations etc The owner is lovely nothing too much trouble. Would be great to have additional towels ( would definitely pay extra for these too could be an option) for the hot tub and mop so can keep floors dry. Logs provided for the lovely log burner which was a great touch, kept us, warm and cosy. Had to take showers/ baths at different times as not enough hot water for the 5 of us at once. However a fabulous peaceful stay would definitely recommend.
