We were a family of four visiting from India. We chose this page because our kids are animal lovers. We accepted the higher cost expecting a wonderful countryside and a chance to experience the local life and culture.
The host was quick to respond to my request to book. Location looked good.
There was no check in time specified. So, we decided to arrive at what is generally the norm , around 3pm.
The room was as specified. However, we missed the fact in the description there was no breakfast provided. There was sugar coffee and tea. No milk though. Had to step out to bring milk for evening tea.
The kids tried the dvd. No luck. Mr.Ming tried it too. The playstation, no luck either. No tv connection.
The animals were a great attraction. The actual farmyard was not clearly accessible even though we were told we could go there (walking through the chicken's coop was not appealing).
Mr. Ming advised us to visit Lyme park. We asked about breakfast and were told to eat at ASDA supermarket coffee shop. Told us about Indian restaurant even though we didn't ask for Indian food.
At bedtime, we tried locking the doors. Did not happen. The blinds didn't close either. We tried to ask him but i think he wasn't home. The duvet on the air bed was smelling. The inside bed was fine.
There were cobwebs in the cabin.
The next morning , we requested Mr.Ming to show us the farm but the request was denied. Since there was not much to do there, we decided to leave early and get something to eat.
We went to say goodbye to the host. During that interaction, Mr.Ming chided my 5 year old son for interrupting our conversation and gave him a mouthful on English mannerisms and etiquette.
We were looking for a fun night out with family among animals. Unfortunately, that's not what we got.
Such an experience makes you rethink the money you spent. Was it worth it?? £101
