    3 of us hurt our legs and feet due to gap between stairs and front door, a bridging piece to close the gap slightly would be good. A tray for the oven would be useful. Looked like it hadn't had a deep clean for a while, generally clean but in need of a good dust.

    Quiet location. Nice amount of outdoor space.

    Felt that it could have been exceptional with a few changes. It needed a good deep clean, crockery and cutlery hadn’t been cleaned properly, crockery was chipped, curtains were tatty, dead flies on walls, rug didn’t feel clean. Leak in outside roof so lounger mattresses were wet. Needed a mat walking into the property. DVD that we watched stopped working half way through. Tv v temperamental. Batteries in remote needed changing but no supplies. Needed decent notes in welcome pack about use of Wi-Fi, TV, Freesat box and DVD player to save time trying to sort. All small things really which would have made our stay exceptional.

    Lovely location in the middle of the countryside. So nice to be able to look out of the round window from bed into a field. Nice to have loungers and the little outside area with fire sphere. Comfy bed, decent shower, good kitchen facilities

    A lovely quirky property - just be careful what car you travel in due to tricky entrance to property.

    The entrance to the property is up a very steep grass bank. We have an SUV and struggled, the bank was slippery and arriving in the dark made it incredibly difficult to navigate. I am glad we turned the car around as reversing out would be challenging. Due to the steepness of the bank I managed to damage my front bumper. But I do know the property owners are looking at resurfacing this. I would recommend they consider this soon as possible to avoid anyone else damaging their car on this ram entrance. Luckily the bumper is still attached but will need fixing. Just mindful for people travelling to be super careful.

    The property is lovely, very quirky, comfortable and we would definitely consider staying there again and bringing the kids back. Love the kids den and the room upstairs. The outdoor space, although we didn’t get to use it would be great in the summer.

    A few issues with the hob and because previous guests didn't let the gardener in the grass was a little long which meant wet feet. Also the hedge needed trimming back to allow for larger vehicle to reverse into parking area.

    Unique experience. Property was lovely.

    Few improvements and this could be something very special but until that time it was 'OK' Bbq left dirty Had to buy batteries for the remotes Outdoor area needs roof repair clean and repainting Sofa very dated and leather flaking off all over Banister broken Blind in main bedroom broken Sun loungers rusty and unuseable Flies galore in hot weather as next to dairy farm (fly zapper bulb not working) perhaps window door /window mesh worth considering.

    Unique property, really quiet rural location, good outdoor space. Clean Interior

    The hut itself was up a steep and high ridged slope which sadly scuffed our car. This was mentioned in the instructions sent out however we only received those after we'd paid.... The hut was slanted which meant the doors in the kitchen and to the bathroom either slammed open or shut... The kitchen lacked a few basics that you'd expect at a certain price point - oil, salt and pepper, sponges - and these would have made a huge difference. There were about 6 logs provided for the log burner/fire pit... which lasted about 2 hours. No firelighters or kidling was provided. Last but not least, the hut had several notes dotted around which bordered on passive aggressive. "Do not smoke. Do not removed DVDs. This is a dairy farm so it will smell. This is not a house its a hut." There was also posters about how to rate the property which felt very off-putting and made us uneasy.

    The hut was clean and spacious and had a great shower. The bed was comfortable and the heated floor in the bathroom was a huge bonus! There was a full kitchen with most the required utensils but a few extras that you'd expect.

    The dvd player didn't work! Bit too far out to walk anywhere. We were a bit miffed that we were asked to "strip the bed" upon leaving - not something you are expected to do. Very expensive for what it is. £170 for 1 night...

    Place was clean & bed very comfortable.

    The hut was amazing! Had everything we needed. Was comfortable and well equipped. Even with not great weather we were able to utilise the outside area and keep warm and dry near the fire pit. Truly glamping at its finest. Great location for local shops, bars and coastline. Lovely area to explore. Kirsty was really helpful and provided everything we needed. I'll definitely be back

    No complaints

    Very much of the beaten track located near a farm, WiFi signal excellent, the only noise was from animals, beautiful property with your own private garden/space, a great location if you want to get away from it all, there's a fire pit and bbq with ample seating underneath a raised platform with roofing and very open planned, A hot tub would have been the icing on the cake, but regardless, it was a wonderful break and was just what the Dr ordered.

    Complimentary biscuits were a YEAR out of date, the only heater in the cabin plugs in to a temperamental extension plug which kept switching off. No logs for the internal wood burner, no toiletries, no blinds on upstairs windows, the drive up to the cabin is steep and is grass, so very slippery to drive up, the covered outdoor area was totally out of bounds with nothing set up. For the price we paid this was very disappointing.

    The hut itself was lovely, kids loved the balcony car.
