Rustic farm stay
Lovely double-height living area, enough room for a family of five for a week. Well-equipped kitchen, with slate floors throughout the downstairs. Nicely finished upstairs, although headroom is a bit tight in places. Good shower downstairs, but we did find the water was a bit too hot coming out of the taps, so we had to be careful, particularly with the kids, when washing hands etc.
Upon arrival we felt that much of the kitchen stuff needed a wash before use, as it was a bit greasy. The floors had been swept or vacuumed, but there was dust and grime in the gaps between furniture and corner behind the tv, which was unpleasant when retrieving an item which had slipped off a surface.
The property is right in the farmyard, and although the kids enjoyed the chickens and geese, unfortunately the farmyard itself was a bit dirty with mud / poo / feathers which did sometimes get walked into the property on our shoes. The chickens also made packing up a bit ‘fun’ as they hop into any open doors of the car.
There is a pig sty to the rear of the outside space, and you’re always aware that you’re on a farm due to the animal sounds, particularly in the early morning!
The double bed downstairs is actually 2 single mattresses put together, both of which were uncomfortable.
All in all we enjoyed our stay, and there’s loads to do within 30-45 mins drive, but it would have been improved hugely by being cleaned thoroughly, inside and out.
