“It would be a lovely stay for the hot summer months!”
The beds warmed up nicely. The shower water was not hot, and rainwater leaked through the ceiling in the shower room.

I never realized breakfast was offered, and that surprised me. I appreciated the instant hot water in the shower, but I was a bit uneasy about the gas calaphont in the same room while showering.

The place is genuinely sweet, the farm it sits on feels like a small paradise, and Matthew and Di are wonderfully kind people. We really enjoyed our stay!

A quaint, quirky little whare tucked into nature. It was comfortable, clean, private, and homely, with delightful kitchen facilities. Di and Matthew were warm and welcoming. I loved my overnight stay and will definitely book again. 10/10✨️

Delightfully quirky accommodation! The beds were very comfortable, but the bathroom in the adjoining caravan felt cramped. We had good weather, so we ate on the deck; otherwise the kitchen would have seemed tight for meals. Charming host Matthew showed us around the facilities and his man cave. I’d definitely stay again if I were in the area.
