Overall we were VERY disappointed with our stay which was booked as a surprise 50th birthday getaway weekend. The farmhouse itself is absolutely lovely but a few things to keep in mind for the next people staying there - the people visiting before us must have used up most of the tank water as on the first night we noticed the water pressure starting to get lower and lower to almost non-existent. No relaxing bath was ever an option. By the second night it had run out completely!! Clearly not a huge tank so if there is more than 2 people staying you might be in for a bit of a problem with showers, toilet facilities, etc. The beds are unbelievably rock hard so that made for a very unpleasant sleep too. There is no extra blankets available but you do have a column oil heater in the bedrooms (which was needed). There is only one working smoke alarm located in a bedroom, basic pantry items need reviewing, no basic UHT milk or water in the fridge, no fire-starting supplies (apart from damp-ish wood) - basics missing! Probably the most disappointing point is that this property shows quite clearly in the listing that breakfast is included - it’s not! It also shows that WiFi is available - it’s not! I did message ‘Ben’ to ask about breakfast being included when we arrived as I couldn’t see anything in the kitchen and was told that it wasn’t BUT “you can pick herbs from the garden and fruit from the trees or there’s a cafe down the road” - seriously?! Overall - very average.
