a somewhat mixed experience
friendly staff good food smaller room uncomfortable bed
the staff were friendly. the food was good at dinner and breakfast. the location itself is a slice of heaven in a beautiful area. it made me so happy.
i booked a larger room initially and i told them we had a dog. a message came then, saying a dog charge would happen, and we needed to switch to a different room. the new room was smaller, yet the price wasn't change. the extra charge for a very uncomfortable camping bed for my little one was a surprise. he ended up sleeping in our bed for both nights.

Tranquil getaway
relaxing space large car park farm tour
The snug provides a relaxing space, distinct from the bar. A large car park with EV chargers is available. I look forward to touring the farm next time. The fairy lit lawn is extensive..
The shower stand in my room was broken. It made using the handheld shower awkward.

The menu includes a short selection of options, but the food is excellent. Locally sourced, organic produce enhances the dining experience. The rustic restaurant provides a charming setting.
