Excellent Location
Victoria made us so welcome. Beds were comfortable. The space was clean and I loved the style of the furnishings. We had ducks greeting us on our first morning so it was one of our highlights. The sound of birds, wind blowing through the trees was soothing. So I would recommend to anyone to stay here.

There was no reply to the knocking or calling out when we arrived, at the time we were asked to. There were also dogs barking. We left the property and found somewhere else to stay and then received an email from the hostess. Too late. We require a refund.

Ok for the price. Chickens were a bit of nuisance at times. One managed to leave a deposit on my car the day I Left. Basin leaks when overflow . TV needs checking gave off a lot of heat.

Very comfortable bed. Plenty of room. Hard to find a contact number to get hold of the property when we found our plans needed to change. Thank goodness for face book and local knowledge we managed to make contact.

misleading advertising
Property described with kitchenette.Shelf with microwave and toaster.Undersized bar fridg and no washing up facilities.Asked for fresh towels on third day.Given new cheap towels that had not been washed.Partner locked door and told that afternoon no key.Had to go away and come back later after locksmith cut key.Room not serviced at all.Read ad and then you decide what should have been supplied.

Would not recommend these rude people to any renter . They were demanding and arrogant from the start . They contacted us wanting a barbeque and we brought a brand new one for them to use and for future renters - they did nt even bother to clean it afterward leaving food on the hot plate and closing the lid - Arrived 4 hrs early - lady walked around our garden dead heading roses on arrival - first day broke the shower - constantly asked for room to be serviced dishes done and bed made even after we explained we do not provide that service - banged on our door 7 am in the morning getting us out of bed wanting new towels - gave them freshly washed and folded towels - locked themselves out of their room and had to get a locksmith in - costing us nearly their whole rent fee - There is also a dish missing . Our accomodation is cheaper accomodation suited to people who enjoy the peace and tranquility of a country setting - I suggest in future they spend more money and get a fully serviced hotel in a city -
