    Couldn't lock the sliding door, was told its secure there, but main reason was we had our special needs son and wanted to feel like he was secure.

    Great size accommodation, very good lay out and everything you would need for your stay.

    No oven but didn’t bother us.

    Lovely little house on the outskirts of the city. Mike the host was amazing helping with any queries we had. Breakfast provided in the fridge and some lovely curious goats watching from our window while we ate it. Late check out of 11am and had the option to tour the farm animals if you wanted. Very comfy bed!!!

    It was a bit of a squash in the rooms, not being able to let the kids roam around property due to safety from animals was a bit hard.

    Great to have animals for the kids to learn about and meet. The unit managed to fit our family.

    There was nothing we didn't like. The barking dogs from a nearby property that other people mentioned were not too loud, we didn't need the ear plugs that were thoughtfully provided

    We liked everything about this place. Very spacious, warm, lovely decor, and an animal outside every window!

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    It was peaceful. Although close to the airport it was not noisy. Loved the green pastures and many different animals. Loved the hospitality shown by supplies of breakfast foods, stuff in fridge, very helpful host, especially if you have a problem, as we did with using the TV system. Bed and couch were very comfortable.

    The only downside is the train and the dogs barking but it wasn’t that bad during the night. They offer earplugs !

    Such a wonderful couple that owns this place! We arrived really late and they said it was not a problem. They were so kind and helpful. The property is lovely and I think specially for a family. There are farm animals all around.

    noise - but they had that covered with earplugs provided - they didn't hide the fact of the location so close to the airport.

    The eggs and breakfast goodies left for us was such a thoughtful idea. We didn't expect that! only trouble was we were on the 6:00 flight out so we weren't able to enjoy. The animals, the pigs and the friendly goats.
