    Absolutely Nothing. Road in has potholes etc, but that’s to do with the council not the hosts

    Location is gorgeous, real working farm, great views, hosts encourage you to explore and meet the animals (sheep, horses, ducks, chickens) The hosts were lovely interesting people, knowledgeable and great to talk to. My son and I had a ball! The house itself is beautiful, comfy beds, equipped kitchen, clean large shower, dvds and dvd player etc. Definitely recommend for those seeking outdoors/farm life.

    The location was brilliant. The roads in the area, although minor, are in very good condition and very quiet. The views from the living room are fantastic. The bedroom enormous. The furniture etc very tasteful and the layout perfect. The heating was good when needed, but the bungalow is generally a very warm building. The sheep were beautiful. This place is as faraway from the mad world you can get, and yet relatively easy to get to, and then when you get back to the mad, mad world relish the memory.

    The public road access is tricky, in common with a lot of rural roads it is not getting the maintenance it needs and has a lot of potholes. Need to take care and drive slowly en route to the property. Obviously this is not something that the owners have any control over.

    The location is lovely, nice views and the owners are very pleasant and welcoming.

    Water pressure was an issue, but not the fault of the owners! Hob a little tricky to get the hang of but once shown, it was fine.

    Lovely location for me but perhaps a bit inaccessible for some. I loved it. It suited my needs and was very comfortable to be in. Lovely view from the picture windows across the valley.

    No fault of the hosts - access is on very poor roads, care should be taken.

    We were surrounded by sheep, dogs, chickens and ducks, red kites circling above. Situated on a rise there were views across the valley, darkness and quiet at night. The stone built cottage was warm and the beds comfortable. The kitchen is small but well thought through.

    We were welcomed by Simon as soon as we arrived. The cottage was spacious and had everything in it we needed. The beds were very comfortable, and the cottage was extremely clean. We were encouraged to see the lambs, sheep, pony, chickens, and dogs, which my boys absolutely loved. The scenery and views are exceptional, and we had a lovely, quiet weekend away. We would definitely recommend a stay here, and we'll definitely be back.

    There is a rough section of drive with large lumpy rocks, which leads to the parking outside the property (just off the smooth drive in photo, which shows main farmhouse)-it would be fine in a 4x4. I would love to stay another time if this was fixed, or parking allowed on smoother track at the front.

    Very peaceful and dark sky area, ideal for good nights sleep. Spacious accommodation and lovely lounge with views of fields, very clean, nice shower room. Didn't see hosts apart from check in, I was visiting family nearby so wasn't at property much.

    We used the cottage at Boreland Farm as our base when we visited friends who live nearby. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. It was spotless, spacious and had everything we needed, down to really helpful extras like sugar and dishwasher tablets - useful if you forget those type of things! Simon and Philippa were terrific hosts - welcoming, warm and let the children have run off the place. They loved visiting the lambs and seeing the chickens and ducks wandering around. The views were spectacular. Would not hesitate to fully recommend this place.

    The surrounding roads are difficult to navigate in the dark if you don't know the area as there is a few potholes. That being said we managed fine in a vauxhall corsa so wouldn't let that put you off.

    Everything about this stay was perfect. The owners went above and beyond and even took us out every morning to feed the sheep which they didn't have to do and they also stopped to chat and make you feel welcome whenever they seen you.
