    The bedwas in an alcove with walls on both sides no room at one side to get out. And the walls were dark which made it clostraphobic apart from that all good.

    The breakfast was first class staff very friendly.

    The very little sleep we got which was nothing to do with the comfort of the room. We were next door to the farmhouse where there was a few people staying and unfortunately they were very loud & disruptive throughout the night - All we could hear was them throwing up, shouting, slamming doors etc.

    The venue itself was lovely! We’re going to organise looking at here for a potential wedding venue - We didn’t get to venture round the property during our stay as there was a wedding on so looking forward to organising.

    service in the restaurant was poor. Particularly around the drinks. We waited 45 minutes for the first drinks to arrive (half way through our mains) and I had to remind the staff we had ordered. Waited another 25-35 minutes for the next lot to arrive, one of which then had no alcohol in it. When I mentioned this the offered to put some it but we had already finished our meal and wanted to head back. I had to ask that this was removed from the bill.

    The room was nice. It was set up as expected, clean and warm which was good. The location of the hot tub was OK but due to the floor covering outside your feet got very grubby, even with the slippers provided. No hooks to hang the robes either.

    It was a little bit expensive for drinks but that’s to be expected when staying at a place as nice as that. Everything was super.

    The breakfast was very delicious and had a good variety. Staff were wonderful and well looked after.

    The walls between the rooms were very thin, you could hear everything that was going on next door, someone going to the toilet, someone was playing music in the early morning also and you could hear it word for word. The shower and the rubber seals need more attention and need to be cleaned as they had discoloured. I think the rooms were slightly over priced for what you got.

    It was quirky, the bed was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, loads of choice for everyone.

    Just be aware if you are booking this as a stand alone B&B like we were, that this is a very busy wedding venue. They hold weddings most days,throughout the entire year. Which means music playing until midnight. Our beautiful room backed onto the wedding venue so you could hear everything and also an air conditioning unit which was loud. If you are attending the wedding....Great news its amazing!

    The pub which is linked to Runa Farm is great! Fab food and the staff were great too! Breakfast was also same standard, great continental option as well as cooked! Rooms have been beautifully designed, we stayed in a junior suite which was a dog friendly room and had a seperate outside door for taking her out which was great plus wooden floors, rusic decor just georgous! Lovely toiletries and fluffy bathrobe and slippers included.
