Beautiful accommodation & very well appointed in the Stables part of the Estate surrounded by lovely grounds & the historic homestead.

Sadly it didn’t feel very welcoming & rules that made you feel like you couldn’t enjoy the beautiful surrounds but we did appreciate the early checkin. We would’ve loved to have had some interaction with the owners or even a peek in the stunning homestead & a couple of eggs from the cookhouse, next to our accommodation, would have been nice touches to make it an absolutely perfect stay!

This is the type of property which usually gets high marks. It is a farm, located in an isolated area, very quiet and serene. There are several buildings and apartments available for rent. Although we didn't personally meet the host, everything went smooth and we felt great. They offer a fine dining restaurant, but it was closed when we arrived.

The only minus we found was that there was only one bathroom, in the upper floor, so people sleeping downstairs had to climb the stairs every time they needed to use the toilet.

Great relaxing setting. Lots of grounds to explore. Love how it was dog-friendly. The staff (who we met on the grounds) were lovely and friendly. The host even dropped our cable off for us in Christchurch (as we had forgotten it). This is above and beyond customer service. The fireplace was set and easy to use.

Understand it is a self-check-in farm stay and like any farm cottage, do expect a few blowflies however, there were a few in the bedrooms before we arrived, which my partner cleared up when we arrived. Appreciate short of staff but can use a stick vacuum to clear an hour before guests arrive. Otherwise, the place is lovely and comfortable and do recommend.

Fantastic farm cottage stay in a quiet, authentic, country location. Very clean and very comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need. Log burner style fireplace that made the cottage so warm and welcoming. Surrounded by chickens, cows, and other farm animals. Perfect relaxing property. So good we didn't want to leave!

Directions to the cottage could have been better. Maybe a simple line-drawing map would help. Parking was a bit awkward. Not sure why each cottage didn't have a designated area, there was plenty of room to do so.

Loved the location as was in the countryside. Welcomed by friendly dogs and chickens! Very comfortable and warm

More attention paid to the finer touches such as ensuring laundry detergent topped up. Shower gel would be a good addition. If I recall, it says that toiletries are provided. I’m sorry if this is incorrect.

Private and serene. A quaint little cottage with comfy beds and everything we needed. Very accommodating and helpful when we realised we left something behind!

Not much we didn't like. Just one thought, the day we arrived was miserable and very cold weather, so it might have been a nice touch to have had the fire going upon arrival 😊

It is a lovely place in a beautiful estate. We love the fireplace and the kitchen is really well equipped.

The day we stayed there was a very cold day, while the log burner keep us warm downstairs, it is too hot upstairs. I think that is because of the design of the log burner. Most of the heat was trapped in there.

LOCATION WAS BEAUTIFUL ,HOUSE JUST LOVELY WITH TEA AND COFFEE PROVIDED.ROOMS REALLY NICE AND COMFY BEDS . STUNNING GROUNDS TO PROPERTY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHTS STAY AS WE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO JUST SIT IN THE GARDEN AND RELAX

NOTHING JUST PERFECT PLACE TO STAY.TO SOME IT MAY BE A LITTLE WAY OUT OF NEAREST TOWN

The absolute serenity and peaceful surroundings. Loved being so far away from the pace and noise of everyday. The evening meal was spectacular and of the highest quality. Being surrounded in the Edwardian environment made it perfect!! We felt very under dressed and wished we’d made the effort to dress up Edwardian even to absorb the atmosphere totally!

We were in the Granary but constantly conscious of our neighbours next door their noise of talking and moving about carried so easily. So that meant ours would be far worse; this did take the edge off our total relaxation.

The cottage was filled with rustic charm and was roomy, homely and warm. The beds were super comfy and all the linen was crisp and fresh. We self catered and found the Kitchen well equipped with everthing we needed to prepare meals.
