Mark was a lovely helpful host. Wood burner was lovely and made all the difference. Would definitely return.

Plenty of walks within walking distance from the Hayloft, with Combs reservoir down the hill. Local pubs are also within walking distance, the beehive is a great pub to visit also pet friendly. The only downside is when visiting during winter and if there is a frost the steps leading up to the property are very slippery so we would advise a facility to spread salt somewhere so the customers can treat the steps.

A few little niggles which Mark sorted, items not available on arrival, dishwasher not working properly and although it says starter pack for log burner provided thus is not the case
