It has a lot of potential but needs some work ☺ The staff and the location and how beautiful it is ☹ The rooms need some work and updating, also we were in one big room which was separated by a wardrobe.

Exceptional ☺ We really enjoyed our stay here. The owner even let us pick strawberries for free because they were going out of season. The best and sweetest strawberries I've had. ☹ The pool was a bit green so we didn't get to swim 😞

It worked for 1 night ☺ The room was clean but very basic. ☹ The price paid was expensive for the room. The rooms need a lot of maintenance. Our door was broken with the door stopper looking like it was worn out.

It has potential but needs a lot of attention. Sorry to say wasnt worth the money spent ☺ The property lacks proper housekeeping and maintenance. No proper check in/Check out process The shower in Suite B is not fit to shower in, the towel rail is a blue string attached to screws in the wall. The Toilets leak The kitchen - Gas stove needs to be replaced it is a safety hazard, You switch on one plate and all four light up. My husband found a bed bug on him my kids slept on their own towels. I really feel the place needs a deep clean and proper maintenance. Deborah is the property manager and very accommodating however the property lets her down. ☹ Bathrooms Kitchen The communial area was dirty The pots and pans needed a scrubbing before I could use them The place felt dirty and grubby The remote controlled gate access didnt work coming or going The towels are old (grateful I didnt shower there)

It was okay for one night, but I won't book again unless they look better after their animals. ☺ The view and the setting and the strawberry fields were nice to look at. The place is very peaceful Ther was no noise which was good. ☹ As animal lovers we were so sad to see the sheep look dirty and unsheared and it really upset me because I am an animal lover and it makes me so sad to see that people neglect their animals Because the place is pet friendly, we expected that the farm animals there are taken care of. The horse looked very lonely. Horses are used to be in a herd or have at least one companion animal as a friend. We suggest you get a companion for him even if it's just a small Shetland pony.

Hi Ilsa I agree totally with you about the animals. I am the new manager here and I had to wait for this season to be over. I already made an appointment with the sheep shearer as soon as he opened and the sheep have been sheared now. I've also had discussions with the owners about the horse being alone and they have agreed to buy another horse so I've already spoken to someone who will bring us another horse hopefully soon. don't worry I'm an animal lover too I give Limelight 2 carrots and an apple every morning. and visit him during the day when I get a spare moment then I make sure the gate is open at all times so he can roam when he wants. He chooses to go out at night and sleep in the day for some reason. please don't worry I am looking after him and the other animals. Thank you for your concern it's good to know there are good people out there who care about animals. don't worry things are happening from Deborah

Loud berries 🍒 ☺ The location is serene ☹ The management or staff, couldn't manage guests. Other guests booked and they were too loud, morning,noon and night. Management did nothing about that. Not considering the rest of the guests. And we asked for Ice that we never got. Even after we were promised a couple of times.

Good ☺ The peace Friendliness of the staff. Bathroom. Pool. ☹ Room could be better. The heat is unbearable wen it's hot. No AC. And a small table fan does no good. Fridge was a hassle. Was changed twice. For the price it's really not worth it. No breakfast included.

Okay for a sleep over, but very over priced for what you get. No aircons, ceilings are broken and water drips in the roo ☺ That it was close to a wedding venue ☹ The amount paid versus what we received.
