While generally comfortable, there are mentions of a noisy farm attraction and a need for better mattress quality and cleanliness in some areas.
The cottage is generally well-received, but there is a mention of a greasy grill pan, indicating that cleanliness could be improved. No other negative comments suggest that this is not a widespread issue.
The location is praised for its proximity to Penkridge, walking areas, and a farm attraction, though it can be noisy during the day. The rural setting is a positive aspect for many guests.

Was ideal for a short stopover for family funeral at Stafford. Would have liked to look round Penkridge but time didn't allow but would definitely go back again when weather is better as it was a bit muddy because it's by the farm.
