We had a good stay in Vivien's place. After a small confusion on the location where we went straight to another house down the lane instead of turning into Vivien's lane we had no issues finding the place.
Frankly the first impression of the house surprised me, probably because I held another impression in my mind. Vivien welcomed us at the doorstep and walked us through the house and showed us the spacious room which would be ours for 1 night. The room was neat and well equipped with toaster, tea, hot chocolate etc. For dinner Vivien recommended the pub at Lavers Hill and indeed it was a great suggestion. Later in the evening we were taken by one of their staff to see the glow worms..what an excellent experience. We slept very well at night.
Next day Vivien offered me a choice of breakfast. We spent the morning playing with their dogs and cats and watching their 16 cows.
Our stay was great.. both Vivien and Robert are friendly and approachable. I would say it was the most authentic experience of stay in a farmer's house.
