"Great for short stays"

8.0

Very well presented property nicely finished and comfortable

Very limited space for cooking simple meals only. Upper level very comfortable and nicely done but not suitable for the taller person because of roof angle Limiting height ok for us as quite short

"Delightful little property proving the perfect base for our requirements"

8.0

The kitchen, whilst small, is well planned and extensively equipped giving the option to fully self cater should you wish. The lounge/dining area is a good size, well furnished and the corner sofa incredibly comfortable, providing a relaxing evening after a busy day.

Unfortunately, being 6 foot tall, the restricted headroom in the bedroom and bathroom proved challenging at times despite having opted for single beds to maximise the available height. My wife on the other hand had no such problems, being under 5 foot!

"A nice quiet getaway"

7.0

The location was good for us as we wanted to get out of London to avoid the fireworks for our dog's sake. It was very quiet and peaceful and when we struggled to find it on Google the hosts were very helpful.

It was a little cramped in the kitchen and in the bedroom with a low ceiling. A word of warning, the OS map (and local signposts) say there are 2 public paths across the field behind the property but the farmer who owns it seems to not want that and was very cagey when questioned on it.
