Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wenn man hier eincheckt, bekommt man Natur pur. Ein riesiger Garten, der von der Besitzerin liebevoll gepflegt wird und Schafe drum herum. Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit einer kompletten Küche. Die Besitzerin hat 2 Hunde und ist sehr nett. Einzig das Internet ist im Zimmer eher langsam. Das alte Landhaus ist wunderschön, innen jedoch eher kühl.

My husband and I recently did a driving tour through this area and we had not decided where we were staying for the night and the afternoon was upon us! Rang Cathy, who was extremely obliging and happy to take our late booking, we arrived within 15 mins of phoning her....No problem, no fuss, Cathy just finished preparing the accommodation and in the mean time we took advantage of having a walk around the garden, saying hello to the chickens, dogs and sheep!
Sat on the veranda with a glass of wine and watched the sun setting....doesn't get better than that.
Very comfortable with separate living room and bedroom, great breakfast provisions with fresh eggs!
Easily have stayed there longer! Thanks Cathy

My wife & I enjoyed a couple of nights at this excellent B&B. The studio attached to the old farmhouse is spacious & it is equipped with everything we needed. Cathy , the owner, was there to meet us & she had sent us simple instructions on how to find the house.
All the ingredients for a good breakfast were supplied and the kitchen was spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom. We found the bed to be very comfortable.
There's a very pretty garden & a great view over the farmland; we loved this place and we have no hesitation in recommending it to our friends ~ We hope to return one-day.
Thank you Cathy for sharing this beautiful place with us, I'm sorry we were unable to stay for longer.

Very nice location, unfortunately we didn't get chance to take advantage of the gardens or facilities it was a quick stop over but the owner was very pleasant, and the house was very interesting, well equipped, tidy and clean my only complaint was the bed was to soft for me but others may like it. Two nice dogs too.
