Coynant Farm Guesthouse - Farm Park Stay

It was neat. Good country side hotel

Clean

Took several attempts to get someone answer the door. The family in the room next to me was extremely loud till late. The drive from the road to property is long and a real car wrecker. Could be a lovely place but there’s scrap everywhere and animals stood amongst it. Looks abandoned

It’s a charming old farm cottage in a very quiet remote place so it’s peaceful and quirky. I enjoyed a fantastic hike the first night. Lots of animals to put a smile on your face if you like that too. So for a walking holiday, I’d say it’s great. WiFi was grand despite what others have said, and the breakfast supplied in the room was a very nice touch.

One can understand very low hot water pressure etc but an old off-grid property isn’t an excuse for dusty cobwebs on the walls, dirty cups, plates and cutlery, or filthy carpets. Such a special location deserves a lot more TLC. There is an awful lot of scrap and old wrecked cars and caravans vans strewn across the land around the cottage and near the lake, which spoils things. My bathroom had an ant infestation coming through failed sealant during the last night but no one was around to report it to before checking out, so hopefully they’ve spotted and sorted it. Again, one can accept things like that in an old property with nooks and crannies, as long as it’s dealt with quickly. The shower leaked to downstairs. My door was aggressively banged on and I was loudly shouted at to “close the shower door” (no please or thank you); it was actually completely closed and bathroom floor was bone dry so I went to speak to the host to make sure he knew there was no evidence of leaking / flooding in the bathroom itself and it’s clearly some sort of leak. Apparently I must have been ‘pointing the shower head the wrong way’ since the door was closed, because ‘it’s never happened before’. This despite there being water staining and missing plasterboard from the ceiling below that shower. Funny that. My aim was to be helpful and make sure they understood the issue and that I wouldn’t cause any further damage to the property by using the shower again but I was left feeling more nuisance than paying customer and didn’t really feel comfortable for the rest of the stay after that, which is a shame. Customers understand that plumbing issues or sealant failures arise, especially in old properties; just own your shortcomings rather than trying to blame guests!

Super beautiful location. Slightly bizarre giant gorilla outside the front. The owner was rude when check in as I didn’t ring the bell on the front door. I’d walked around the little property to see if I could find check in. Why didn’t you ring the bell” “oh sorry I didn’t spot it” “well… who are you then” quite unnecessary confrontation. The property and decor is quite old, but not in a bad way. More in a lovely trip back too your grans. Room was clean enough but quite a bit was missed. Crumbs in the draws, black mold on the ceiling of the bathroom and dirty cups. Room is comfy and Breakfast is provided by appliances on a table and a fridge with milk and orange bread and cereal in the room for you to do yourself at your own time. The road into the property is a decent farm road. Just don’t drive it at 65mph and you’ll be fine.

After 15 years staying at B&Bs, this was the best. They give you everything. Apart from self service breakfast in your room, which I enjoyed before I even got dressed. There was an air fryer, microwave and toaster in my room. I had an evening meal provided which I microwaved, it was very satisfying. It was absolute peace, I slept in a very comfortable bed, it had beautiful surroundings and all for £50! The host was wonderful, if only there were more like this

Nothing.

The photos are not exactly what the property looks like. Location was off network coverage, when I first called 3 days earlier to cancel my booking, it was refused. I eventually arrived and I was scared of getting out of my car. I had to leave immediately especially since there was not network coverage in my both phones.

The booking said it didn't come with breakfast, but there was plenty of bread, eggs, milk and juice in the fridge for me which was a lovely touch. There was also cutlery, a kettle, toaster, egg poacher, air fryer should I have needed it.

My t.v and internet access didn't work. But this was soon sorted by a staff member
