Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness has received mixed feedback. While some guests found the property spotless and tidy, others reported issues with dust, cobwebs, and maintenance of cleanliness. The owners appear to have addressed some concerns by changing cleaners, which has resulted in improvements.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to amenities, and tourist attractions. It offers a perfect base for walking, with scenic views and a peaceful setting that guests have found ideal for a relaxing holiday.
Guests have found The Hayloft to be very comfortable, with special mentions of the luxurious beds and spacious living areas. The property provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, although some guests noted issues with heating regulation and a lack of wardrobe space in one bedroom.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and modern bathrooms. However, some guests noted a lack of cooking equipment, lighting issues, and a small fridge. Maintenance of facilities has been highlighted as an area for improvement.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no consistent mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. While some guests mentioned receiving eggs, this was not a recurring theme to warrant a score.

It is in a fabulous landscape, with views over hills, meadows and the reservoir. We walked and talked and spent some time just soaking up the landscape and relaxing. We were blessed with two days of sunshine. Sadly it wasnât enough to dry up the mud that we got stuck in on some of the lower walks near the reservoir, so our advice is take the right footwear and have an alternative route plan. The host at the Hayloft was very welcoming and helpful . We are already considering another visit.

Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The accommodation was very well laid out, with all the facilities you would need, and the views from the Hayloft were great, as ware all the local walks. Thanks again for a memorable visit.
