The facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being described as well-equipped. However, comments about dated decor, the need for a lick of paint, and a desire for general modernisation suggest that some aspects of the facilities could benefit from attention.

Sue had provided several little treats to welcome us as well as a small Christmas tree and decorations. We felt completely at home and very happy to be there. The weather was sunny but bitterly cold but it was warm and cosy inside with the log burner. There were plenty of places to visit and beautiful scenery in every direction when we ventured outside. It would be lovely to return in warmer weather to be able to sit on the terrace and watch the various animals wandering in the fields outside. ( you could also watch them from inside). Five stars is not enough for this accommodation!
