    2nd night not as efficient in the restaurant as 1st. Some food accompaniments didn't arrive at all Mix up with the bill Overcharged £32 for someone else's drinks. Food expensive but not all food was worth the money.

    Staff very friendly Amazing room in a wonderful location Amazing breakfast - pricey but worth it 😊

    Wasn't a fan of the 4am fire alarm going off, it took quite a while for a staff member to come out from the main building to sort it out.

    Beautiful place to stay, exceeded our expectations, staff were lovely and very attentive. Room was upgraded for our anniversary which was a lovely touch. We had evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant and both were superb. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

    The room that we got was not what was advertised when booking and was significantly smaller without the seating area which was disappointing. I also agree with other reviews and feel the price is high for what you get and there is definitely room for improvement.

    Overall we had a lovely stay. The food and the staff were good, we would come back.

    We stayed in room 2,and although the beds were so comfy we were woken by the sound of generators or air con units or something similar at around 6am which was a little annoying.

    We stayed at Runa farm whilst attending a wedding, the wedding venue was stunning.

    Access to a lot of rooms were via narrow winding stairs. The room was very small for the tariff charged per night. The place as a wedding venue, with it's facilities was excellent, but their inflated price of drinks was disappointing.

    Venue was very good, with good parking. Room was small, but had all the usual facilities to a good standard. Food was good, breakfast was 1st class with choice & standard. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    In some aspects style was prioritised over functionality - there were no suitable mirrors in the room for doing hair/make up. The lighting was overly complicated and not entirely useful. Bright spotlights above the tv and only mirror in the room where blinding when trying to use either.

    Very comfortable bed, great shower, lovely breakfast.

    Room was very small and double bed had to be pushed up against the wall. Room upstairs and my husband is disabled. Getting out of bed in the night meant we both had to wake up. Doors need signs on them as easy to get confused

    Friendly staff, beautiful dining room, very dog friendly. Food excellent

    Lovely location with friendly staff but quirky design let down by lack of practicality.

    Feels only half done with little thought given to how quirky design works in practice. Shower looks nice but floods bathroom. Table top basin looks good but impractical. Dressing table looks good but pointless without a chair. Iron bedstead looks good but squeaked every time you moved. Tea making facilities inside wardrobe were just weird- especially as there was adequate space in the room for a table, with electric points halfway up the wall, which would have been ideal, but there was no table.

    Quirky charm. Friendly staff. Delicious breakfast.
