I didn't realize...
The bathroom and toilet is upstairs and the 3rd bedroom is tiny under the eaves, more suited to 2 children with 2 single beds. The fire is fabulous, everything else a wonderful experience and super comfortable larger beds

Fantastic farm stay
What a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful grounds which we could wander around with our dog. The cottage was well appointed and very comfortable. Close to multiple recreational opportunities if you like the outdoors. Excellent communication with the host. I would definitely like to go back.

Simple but good space for family hols
A nice enough spot, but lacking a few finer details that you expect of a 'lodge type stay' eg: 4pm check in was required (a chilly 3 deg out) No heating on and the fire took a while to crank up, getting mega hot upstairs yet still cold down with timber floors... (no kindling, firelighters, paper, even coffee on arrival), only one side of elec blanket one bed, none on single beds. Loud noises from attached unit (thin walls) kids running up and down wooden stairs and their gas califont clicking and cluncking right outside the downstairs main bedroom much of the night and early morning was a bit annoying! Im sure the owners mean well but seem busy/preoccupied with so many rooms to manage
