We stayed here for my mum's 60th birthday. It was a wonderful place to stay, lots of nature around, lovely walks around. Comfortable beds, great showers. We tried calling Michael twice throughout our stay as we couldn't get the oven working, it wouldn't connect so we sent a msg through air bnb and he called within 20mins. The gardener was there for 2 days for a few hours. We chatted to him and he was super friendly however if you wanted pure privacy that might have been an issue but it didn't bother us. If your staying here, there are no wine, champagne glasses (especially if you're having a special dinner like we were, we did ask beforehand if there was any and we were told there was) or a tin opener but has all the rest of the equipment needed. Bbq was brilliant. House was such a pleasant stay and full of character. We would definitely be back again to stay, hopefully no rain next time!
