Overall Rating

Excellent

The farm has four cottages available with a very number of rooms each. We stayed in the Lavander cottage, with had 2 rooms. My husband has a MND and the cottage was equipped with a chair/commode with wheels, a wet room, a profiling bed and also gave us the contacts to hire a hoist. The location was very peaceful, and they also have a hot tub! They have few chickens and ducks and the owners are lovely. It's also very dog friendly. We have a lab who spent the evenings on a nearby irrigation lake swimming with the ducks! It was our first holiday in a year, and it all worked so well that we will go back for another visit in August.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Perfect for a power chair user, and relatively spacious. The kitchen is not adapted to be used by someone on a wheelchair, e.g. the counter is not low and there is no space for the legs if you are cooking on a wheelchair. But the living room is comfortable and spacious.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

There is parking at the farm, in front of the cottage, but the area is not frequented by public transport. It's quite rural, so you really need your own car to get around.

Accessible Toilets

Good

There was the possibility of using a raised toilet seat and also a commode

Staff

Excellent

The owners of the farm are lovely . They were always useful when we ask them for advice and very relaxed .
