Guests have enjoyed the rustic charm, the renewable energy initiative, and the delightful hot tub. The presence of animals and proximity to local walks add to the appeal, although some guests noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance.

The location is highly praised for its stunning views and peaceful setting, with easy access to local walks and the village. Some guests were disappointed by the proximity of the campsite, which contradicts the listing's description of seclusion.
The cottage is frequently described as cosy, homely, and comfortable, with spacious rooms and a warm atmosphere. Some guests mentioned issues with appliances and fitments, but overall the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities like the hot tub are a highlight, though some guests reported problems with appliances and general maintenance. The working farm setting and renewable energy are positives, but the need for tidying and updating some areas is noted.
While guests have mentioned the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners, there is insufficient information regarding specific gestures of thoughtfulness, such as gifts, to accurately score this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

You can tell the building is so old, but that added to the trip. Also, the hot tub was very welcome after a good day of walking and climbing.

We especially loved the shared living room space with comfy sofas and armchairs in front of the fireplace. The house was charming and comfortable and surprisingly quiet for being on a working farm. The views out of the bedroom windows were gorgeous, the old beams in some of bedrooms really added to the cosy feel this house has. We all felt comfortable and 'at home' and looked forward to returning after a day out hiking. The hot tub was bliss in the evenings and easy to manage. Thank you to the owners who were friendly and accommodating at the same time mindful of our space while we stayed. The dogs and other animals added to the charm of this place.
