    There’s absolutely nothing to not like! If I had to choose something, it’s leaving!

    Everything! Peaceful, privacy, see and hear animals/nature. Hot Tub is lovely! Everything you need! Staff are friendly. The little shop is adorable with handmade items and produce.

    Nothing! The weather wasn’t great but that can’t be helped! Made the dash from the hot tub more refreshing!

    Loved how comfortable and cosy it was and of course the hot tub! The small touch of the gift basket with eggs and treats was lovely too!

    Nothing to complain about.

    Perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle! Conversion has been done to a very high standard, with everything you need whether it be a short stay or long. The bed area may look small and tricky to get into, was sooo comfortable, and with plenty of room. Outdoor area was perfect, and you had plenty of privacy to enjoy the outdoor area, but still see the animals and beautiful scenery from lorry. Bonus, there is a little shop on the farm where you can purchase handmade gifts and also fresh produce from the farm. Will definitely be back for a visit in the near future!

    The only minor thing was the bed was slightly uncomfortable, however not enough to put us off returning.

    The property had everything you would need - even down to utensils and cooking equipment. The property owners left a beautiful little welcome hamper which was a lovely touch. The grounds were beautiful and the views were stunning. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will 100% be returning.

    Nothing not to like

    Everything! Such a beautiful farm and lots of amazing animals. The exterior and interior of the Shire is exceptional. You can see that they really looked into every detail. We had lovely fresh eggs on arrival, sadly we couldn’t eat them all because we were gone early due to work commitments but next time we will definitely stay to enjoy breakfast. The hot tub was really clean and hot, the bed was really comfy and the sound of the rain on the roof made it even more cosy and the guest book was lovely and detailed to read.

    It’s an old horse box, so we were the talk of the wedding, everyone knew we were the ones staying in the old horse box! Everything you would need was provided, the eggs and snacks were a welcome extra. Bed was so comfortable. Very clean and the hot tub was lovely! Everything clearly sign posted as well, which was really helpful! Views were stunning!

    Everything was perfect! From the cleanliness, to the friendly hosts and the amazing surrounding gardens and animals. The Shire was very cosy and had all the facilities we needed for our stay! There were kitchen utensils, hairdryer, tea and coffee. We loved the welcome basket which included fresh eggs from their farm.

    Not applicable.

    The keys were left inside the property itself and I was given clear instructions on how to access the property. I did not meet the hosts, however written instructions were clear. The accommodation had been renovated to a high standard and the BBQ and hot tub were an added bonus. This was an excellent stay and in hindsight I would have booked for two nights not one.

    Waking up to the breath taking view was the highlight for us, the converted truck is so gorgeous and very well equipped. Everything worked fine. The owners were very welcoming and lovely people. There were loads of amazing handcrafted details both around the lorry as well as in the gardens, it was very well thought out and it all came together so well.

    I wouldn't want to meet a vehicle on the road as I am not good at reversing!

    I don't know where to start! The accomodation was spotlessly clean and lovely and new looking. The bed was a king size and it was very comfortable and access to it was easy. The views across the fields were fabulous and it was relaxing to watch the sheep, horses and donkeys happily grazing in the sunshine. The outdoor sitting area was spacious and private with a hot tub and barbeque. Can't wait to return here to this idyllic place.

    Our only criticism is that if you judge by the photos provided it looks idillic and quite private, which in some ways it is, but others it is not.. Some photos were a little misleading for me when booking, because you can't see that the lorry overlooks the farm yard. It was lovely weather and quite warm so we opened the doors and personally felt that if you sit on the sofa or walk up or down the steps to the lorry, you are literally in full view of any other guest who pops down to visit the animals.. So if you're walking in a towel back inside from the hot tub, or if relaxing in your pj's watching some TV with the curtains open admiring the view, be prepared to feel slightly exposed. We clicked once we got there that the lorry is adjacent to the farm yard. It was a real "duh!" moment for me haha. The animals obviously need feeding and it is a working farm, so naturally someone's going to be checking in at least twice a day to feed them. Someone would pass through the gate to the big shed and and tend to the animals, and they'd pass the lorry and if you wanted to look over the fence, you easily could. Not that they did!! In fairness the farmer kept to himself and cracked on with the task in hand. So this for us was simply again a privacy thing. I just didn't think about that when I booked, but once you're there and see it all in person you realise. I'd like to highlight that these above were my only criticisms, I'm just a shy person and I like to be out of the way, I didnt realise that we would be in such an open space (in its small ways) otherwise it was honestly, absolutely perfect xx

    Absolutely loved our 1 night stay in the converted horse lorry, it's so modern, very clean and beautifully designed, a lot of attention to detail. The bed was soooooooo comfortable, best sleep ever. We were greeted with a lovely birthday hamper and decor that I paid a little extra for (£25) which was everything I asked for and more than reasonable for the amount of chocolate and 4 cans of guiness we had and the personal touches with balloons and banners! My partner loved it all :-) We had 6 fresh eggs waiting for us from the farms' chickens which was such a nice touch, so unexpected and was greatly appreciated! We had them for breakfast and they were delicious. There's a little shed with jams, chutneys, sauces, eggs, we loved the fact you could get fresh produce!! Said there was meat but we didn't see any, unsure how to come about that whether it was stored somewhere else or we needed to ask, so missed out on that unfortunately, but the eggs were fabulous. The views of the fields were breathtaking. The little area they have with all their animals was brilliant, especially great for kids!! There's signage and a bit of information on all the animals which was so sweet.. The baby goats, horses and the pigs were our favourites! The hot tub is in an enclosed space and is just gorgeous at night, the fences are all lit up, very clean too.
