Our group enjoyed the space, especially having a bathroom for each couple or family. The kids enjoyed space to run around and ride their pushbikes outside. The cows and rabbits outside were a huge hit. The communal living spaces were great, with room for everyone. Our only disappointment was the double beds which were uncomfortably hard. When contacted, the management team did come and fit the beds with mattress toppers which helped to alleviate the problem a little, but really those 4 mattresses need to be replaced. Will watch with interest to see if this happens, as overall, the space really suits our purposes, and it would be good to be able to come back again next year and add comfortable sleep to the otherwise positive experience.

FamBam

Great location, nice and clean with well stocked kitchen. Great heating and children enjoyed playing in enclosed veranda room. Plenty of room for extended family. One down side were all double beds were awful!!! We like a firm bed but it was like sleeping on a board. I would need confirmation that the mattresses had been replaced before I rebooked. Shame as everything else was great.

Amazing weekend

We had such an amazing weekend at this gorgeous property. The house is absolutely amazing and exactly what we wanted. We met the lovely Margot who had the cows and she let us feed the potty calf. Such a great experience I recommend this property to anyone!

Not what I expected

No bbq at the house, mould on ceilings. Never again will I stay here again. Over priced for what you get.

Great property for large groups

Large spacious facilities are great for large groups. Property was very clean and surrounding areas are very beautiful. However beds are very firm so I would recommend perhaps bringing a foam bed topper if you are used to a soft mattress.
