Superb

gorgeous scenery, salubrious facilities!

There was a change in the arrangements on my arrival so I stayed off site at another family property. It was immaculate and magnificently set up. The only thing that was a slight hiccup was an issue with breakfast: I thought that I had breakfast included but didn't...however a quick drive to the shops for toast sorted that and getting it ready in the beautiful kitchen was a dream. Fresh home made sponge on arrival more than made up for it.

I prefer a low pillow...the very generous ones were a bit high for my neck!!

No welcome pack

We went without milk ect and the famous cake as we didn't get our welcome pack. I Mentioned it twice to the lady taking the money and she pretended to not hear me She didn't speak to us at all the two days as she was on the phone to her daughter when we arrived, so she just waved us in. Rude .

Would definitely come back again

Lovely surroundings, lovely bright well equipped and cosy cottage. Towels were super soft. Hilary was lovely, as was her very welcome cake after a long trip. My kids loved the touches of hen food so they could go out each morning to feed the hens.

Nothing!

Beautiful spot in a good location to explore the area

The settings is beautiful and the view from the back over the fields and city was super.

Check in details were only sent after I had requested them. The directions to the property are specific and having not read them as I was already driving the sat nav took me to the wrong place.

Stay at riding farm cottage

Fully stocked kitchen with the added bonus of a delicious home cooked Victoria sponge cake on arrival. Very spacious living room and super comfy double bed with on suite bathroom with shower and separate bath.

Very small complaint the wi fi code in the apartment hand book didn't work but I admit I didn't ask the hosts about this as it was unimportant as I had very good mobile reception so used my own mobile data.
