• Joanna (9/5): Lovely stay on the Tamara Coast to Coast Way. - Lovely spacious little house with super comfy beds and v well equipped. We received a warm welcome as we arrived. Everything we could have wished for. Nothing!
• Paul (7/5): Adequate for a couple of nights. - I loved the location and the fact that we were left to do our own thing. It was a nice touch that we were left some milk and little cereals. Although the property was clean there were still a few spiders webs and leggy spiders to be found. I suppose we were on a farm though so that can be forgiven. I hated the fact that there are no doors - the beds are separated off by curtains so absolutely no privacy when you have a daughter on her phone to her boyfriend at all hours haha.

• Stewart (6/5): Hen House - I liked the decor and beautiful views Breakfast cereals and milk in the fridge for a cup of tea on arrival were very welcomed Appreciated the later departure and earlier arrival - thank you The cost . It's the prices for everything today you don't seem to get much nowadays . Alternatives in the area were almost double . Perhaps local businesses are aware of university student intakes Sofa bed was uncomfortable to sit on Shower was not very strong Electric hob and not fitted kitchen or oven so unable to cook other than hob Breakfast chairs were not very stable Beautiful remote location, the lanes to the property were single roads and several times got stuck as drivers would not reverse and Limited passing places

• Steven (10/5): Brilliant and to see the kids taking all the sights and sounds in was magical - The property was warm and welcoming and set in the most beautiful location. The couple who hosted us couldn’t have done more to make us and the kids feel at home. We had an informal tour of the farm and were introduced to all the animals and birds and a newly born goat. The kids loved it and are asking when we are going back already. Nothing negative to say at all.
