It had ample kitchen equipment, good size dinning and lounge room space for all af us to relax. The outdoor spaces were good too. I would say that there isnt 15 bedrooms there is only 14 and this needs to be updated on the website. I would definitely stay here again probably in warmer months to then take advantage of the pool. ##### Lorinda M.

Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica O. 25 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Lovely I stayed here with my extended family, and we all had a really nice time. Lots of space and the garden was great. It was the middle of winter, so it was quite cold, which was fine, but you have to go outside on the balcony to access the toilets and bathrooms. This isn’t clear on the property listing, so something to consider if you are going to stay in winter. The house could do with a bit of attention, but nothing major. It’s missing a few basic things like a corkscrew, hairdryer, and enough firewood. Several appliances in the kitchen didn’t work, batteries in the remote were flat, things like that. It is old with peeling paint and a few quirks, but not uncomfortable and quite charming. Overall a really lovely weekend. ##### Jessica O. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben R. 21 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Great Stay I stayed here with a group of friends for our annual holiday. The place has everything you could want for a large group; ample rooms for people to sleep, a huge kitchen with multiple fridges, a pool, 4 acres of manicured lawn, and an undercover courtyard(which was especially convenient as it rained for the majority of the time were there). I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presented itself. ##### Ben R.

Definitely a sense of history staying in such an old pub. Grounds large and attractive. The surrounding neighbourhood had no amenities and is a little isolated. We were attending a wedding so this was not a problem for us. ##### Fiona C.
