8.0 / 10.0
Mostly wonderful
We occupied as a family, all three cottages. The Dairy is the star with the best sunset views. Some outstanding features balanced a few negative ones. Location, view, farm 5* along with owner's and housekeeper's responsiveness and tolerance. Well appointed and bedding fab but kitchen equipment in a bit of a mess and lacking. Games room tired and fake lawn outside the Buttery let the whole down a little, all fixable.
