Hi there. I am very sorry to hear about your unhappy experience! I confess the coldness was my mistake – I had not received your ETA and so had not turned on the heaters in time for your arrival. Even though it heats up fast (and it felt to be a cosy 25C when I served breakfast in the morning) I can fully appreciate it can be hard to shake a negative first impression! And it does sound like your stay was an unfortunate case of lots of things running together – the electrics have not done that before and the bathroom blinds are being replaced. I will investigate the bedding and the carpet – thank you for your comments.I do wish you had voiced such things at the time of your stay so they could have been remedied, or instead you could have been moved to our Morning Room (inside the main house) which might have been more to your liking. I wish you well :)

Hi Peter great to meet you and thanks for your review!

Hi Henrik thanks for your review and sorry something didn't align for you! I hope next time you might share details of whatever was unsatisfactory (ideally during your stay or at least afterwards) so that we can address it :) I wish you well!

Thanks for your review and great to meet you!

Thanks for your review Peter – glad you enjoyed your stay and it was a pleasure to host you! :)

Hi Sandesh thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and I'm sorry that you seem not to have been perfectly satisfied with your stay – I wish you had let us know at the time of your stay, or perhaps left some comments in your review detailing how things could have been improved for you. Nonetheless, I wish you well!

Hi Rebecca thanks for your stay and review! It was a pleasure hosting you, and next time more than happy to adjust the thermostat and/or show you how to work the gas fireplace :)

It was a pleasure hosting you, and so glad you enjoyed your stay! Welcome back anytime :)

I am very sorry to read that your experience was so radically different from previous guests'. We try our utmost to offer a comfortable, enjoyable experience. We are not a boutique hotel, but rather a working permaculture farm offering B&B spaces with character. As such, we are trying to do our bit for the environment: the UK Department of Energy & Climate Change's #1 energy-saving behaviour is to turn thermostats down to 18˚C, which saves thousands of kWh per year and reduces carbon emissions. However of course our first priority is your comfort, and I would have been more than happy to provide another heater had you requested it (it also appeared afterwards that you had accidentally turned the heater down to 'minimum' which I imagine will not have helped). I'm sorry you didn't notice the en-suite's fan heater (on the wall and detailed in the welcome booklet), which gets the bathroom roasty toasty within a couple of minutes. And toiletries are kept in the mirror cabinet above the sink (detailed in the welcome booklet). I'm sorry the rural farm setting was not to your liking, and that you did not enjoy my homemade sourdough with organic fresh-picked salad and fresh-laid eggs (couldn't be fresher!), with homemade tomato ketchup. There were also other options on the menu (including bacon) if you would have preferred something different. Our 1913 farmhouse is indeed not a Premier Inn for which we are grateful. I hope you find what you are looking for next time. I wish you well :)

Thanks! :)

Thanks Robin!
