Enjoyed the strolls in the garden and the hidden treasures with each twist and turn of the paths. When rain threatened and fell on our first night we could still enjoy drinks and BBQ under the back deck and wide verandas. Owner and cleaner communications and help pre-visit were fabulous. Great to have basics like salt and pepper, garbage bags and olive oil in stock. (Missing were dishwasher tablets). If we return for the festival in a couple of years, we will very happily book Wonga again! ##### JOy A. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nicole T. 8 Oct 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy We recently stayed at this property and wanted to share some honest feedback, particularly as the host mentioned they are currently training a new cleaner.Unfortunately, we encountered several cleanliness issues upon arrival. The bathrooms were not clean, including the toilets, the kitchen sink area hadn’t been properly wiped down, and some of the bedding appeared unwashed. The pool was also not cleaned before our arrival—we had to purchase a pool scoop ourselves to make it usable.Another concern was that the cleaner entered the property on Saturday evening while we were out for dinner. We hadn’t been informed that anyone would be accessing the house during our stay, which was unexpected and felt like an invasion of privacy.I’ve contacted the host directly and also sent photos for reference, but I haven’t received a response yet. Hopefully, this feedback will be helpful as they continue to train the new cleaner and improve the overall experience.The property has a lot of potential, and with some attention to cleanliness and communication, it could be a great option for future guests. ##### Nicole T.

A wonderful peaceful environment for a country break. Loved exploring the property and enjoying the Beautiful garden filled with birds and bees. Plenty of parking. Perhaps a few more comfortable portable outdoor chairs as the church pews and benches are gorgeous vintage furniture but they are not comfortable. Perhaps a note on the listing for tenants to BYO outdoor chairs. I would definetley stay again. ![Back yard ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20511dd1-e28c-4c14-bfda-2908aa3895ea-1761021351771.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Garden arbour ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e09ff6e2-a50a-41c5-98b1-a682b2946020-1761021352053.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Family cars at Wonga.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8c864e54-f6f9-4990-b5c0-928b8e65a505-1761021437458.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joanne V.

Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### charmaine m. 24 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### beautiful haven filled with lovely things such a gorgeous house and garden. we loved our stay, it was very comfortable and the garden was just divine. More information about the property and its history as well a how to use guide would have been helpful. Also while the house sleeps 12 it is more suitable to families than a group of friends due to the layout of the rooms and bathrooms. That said it was perfect for the five of us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. James was very happy to answer questions and was very helpful, generous and lovely to deal with. ##### charmaine m.
