    The property is spacious, cosy and comfortable. Everything is fresh and modern - especially the kitchen and bathroom. The location is stunning… even a rainy Saturday afternoon was a joy curling up with a book in the reading nook. Dalwood village is only a 15 min stroll down quiet lanes - visit Dalwood Vineyard for a great afternoon!

    Spacious and very nice interior. Well equiped kitchen, comfortable couch and bed. The bathroom, kudos to the shower. Washing machine was a nice add. Lovely host, even though we were on his property it all felt very private.

    The entrance to parking area took a bit of careful manoeuvring and we took a few goes to get used to the little narrow roads leading to main routes. Everything else was ‘ spot- on’

    Everything supplied was good/top quality. Everything needed was supplied. The decor was stylish and simple- no fussy Nick-nacks cluttering the place. The space was completely private. Light and airy, spacious and warm. Wish we’d booked longer! Also Andy and family were friendly and helpful but in no way intrusive.

    We did find it difficult to find our way in and out of the property because the postcodes cover too big an area. However I believe the host is going to add ‘What 3 Words ‘ to the directions.

    The lovely design of the property, the comfort of the bed, the outstanding views from upstairs and the friendliness of the hosts.

    Problem with WiFi the TV and dishwasher just took the edge off the stay. Hosts were very good and flagged just before arrived and offered to refund and cancel my stay.

    Lovely location and really friendly hosts. Very nice comfortable layout.

    WIFI TV would stop working, and required the hosts or my husband to manually set it up each time, which took a while and several attempts.

    Lovely Stable conversion, spacious, clean, and done to a high spec. Great shower, beautiful location, private patio area. Helpful hosts.

    Blind broken in reading nook so no view/early morning light in bedroom/no lie in! (owner said he was planning to get it fixed). Lots of single track roads (lots of reversing) around the property and a tight turn onto the yard, to test my driving skills. Dogs let loose in yard/pile of dog p** next to my car. None of this spoiled my stay though :)

    Nice property, beautifully renovated, nice kitchen, clean, well stocked with pots, pans, utensils etc Good shower, comfy bed.
