Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property clean and comfortable, with particular mention of clean bathrooms. However, a few noted areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as inside the freezer and oven. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a general trend.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with easy access to local walks and amenities. The scenic drives and proximity to various attractions add to its appeal. The breakdown of a local ferry was an external issue that affected access temporarily.
Guests consistently report that the beds are comfortable, contributing to a good night's sleep. The property is described as cosy and welcoming, with a log burner and comfortable seating. One guest mentioned a bed being too soft, but overall, comfort levels are rated highly.
The lodge is well-equipped with home comforts, including a log burner, well-stocked kitchen, and entertainment options like Netflix. Some guests experienced minor issues with the oven and suggested that the property could benefit from some maintenance and decluttering.
While many reviews mention the warm welcome and helpfulness of the hosts, there is no specific mention of gifts provided to guests. Therefore, it is not possible to score thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.

The farm lodge was in an ideal location for walking locally and also travelling in the car. We all enjoyed our week, wished we could have spent longer as a week wasnât enough.
