Great room for those quick overnight stays
The room has two single beds which is all we needed, in a beautiful 103 yo building. Bathroom and kitchen are in a caravan right outside. Facilities can be considered cosy and compact. Host was lovely telling us about the property and surrounding areas

Loved the location and the very friendly and helpful hosts. We were even helped to pick a wheelbarrow full of fresh apples from the adjoining orchard, free of any charge!! Will definitely be staying here again.

Lovely stay in a very quaint place.
Host Di was super easy to deal with and very welcoming. The Whare (bedroom) was very clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of room for suitcases etc. The Caravan (kitchen in one room, the bathroom/toilet in the other) had everything that was required in the way of supplies etc. Overall, a very nice, peaceful place to stay.

More Suitable For young people or children
Though I was told about the shower and toilet in a caravan nearby I did not enjoy this arrangement. I m in my late 60s and in the future I would always look for ensuite bathroon facilities.
