A very nice couple but the place wasn’t what we thought or what is advertised.
From reading the description it seems like an annex to their house, however it is only separated by a wooden partition board at the end of the corridor which the couple can come through easily. You could hear them on the other side of the board.
As I have two young kids I wouldn’t have booked somewhere which wasn’t a separate accommodation willingly. Tony and Ngaire were both lovely to chat too, but I did feel uncomfortable with the lack of security not having a blocked off entrance gave.
The house is dated but has all the amenities you could need. The beds were comfortable and the place was clean, and they did get us bread, milk, jam and butter which was very kind of them. It’s good value for money if you don’t mind the fact it’s not completely separated.
The front of the house picture advertised is Tony and Ngaires house, not the entrance. Also Parking was tight as the couple have several cars. We had two cars and were able to put them on the drive but it was confusing as to where we should leave them parked.
We didn’t use the pool as it’s early spring.
When I booked o was asked what time I would be arriving, at that time I expected to arrive a bit later, but my plans changed. As check in is advertised from 3pm I didn’t think to message to say about my change in plans, but when we arrived at 3.30pm the place wasn’t yet ready. Tony was there and said he thought we were arriving later. We had traveled a long time in the car with two young kids and ended up going to a pub for food whilst we waited for it to be ready. They were both apologetic but also seemed put out by the fact we didn’t come when we had originally said…
Overall I don’t think I would recommend as a place to stay with young kids.
