Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomOnly problem we had was the road up to the accommodation it self was very bumpy and quite a difficult drive if you were a new/nervous driver.
Absolutely loved the property, the perfect size for the two of us. Beds were very comfy, always very warm and the kitchen worked great. A smart tv is a nice bonus most places don’t have and decent size too. The shower and hot water both worked really well, owners very friendly with lovely friendly cats too. Overall a really lovely accommodation and would stay again

United KingdomWe booked two holiday cottages; one for a single adult and one for four adults. Everyone was delighted with everything. The cottages are comfortable, clean and offer all the facilities you could wish for. Jean and Claire who run the farm and the cottages are wonderful hosts. The location is superb if you like beautiful scenery, a bit of isolation from everyday life and the challenge of driving over the fells and up a long farm track to get there.

United KingdomThe 1/4 mile drive is a bit rough and it's wise not to rush up and down it, but select a path of least pot holes. This can be done.
Lovely quiet location. Good for exploring the southern lakes and other attractions in the area. A couple of walks from the farm included in the information pack, including one down to Broughton in Furness with it's lovely square. There is a shared lawn to the back of the property with plenty of benches. Jean and Claire helped us out when we realised we had not packed some items, for which we were very grateful.

United KingdomIt was a nuisance that the Wi-Fi kept on failing "connected but couldn't configure IP" for some hours. This needs fixing/upgrading, as most mobile phone signals will not be available here. If you have a small front wheel drive car watch out for the couple of steep hairpin bends on the way up the farm drive with the loose gravel. Double bed mattress was slightly small and uncomfortable, if you are two large persons.
If you want scenery and open fields in a secluded location this is a great cottage to stay in (for Woodmans three bedrooms).

United Kingdomthe Wi-Fi didn’t work at all so we had to go internet free for the stay which was good for our mental health but made it hard to communicate with family. the pillows on the bed were also very uncomfortable but other than that everything was brilliant!
the farm was very remote so it was very quiet to sleep and there wasn’t anyone around. the place was warm and cosy and all the kitchenware was spotless with fully working appliances which you don’t usually find when staying in places like this. the place had everything you could need and it was easy to park directly outside the room.

United KingdomOnly one small thing we would say with the Stable Cottage is maybe better lighting over the sink area in the bathroom for shaving
On arrival it was just perfect, so quiet with breathtaking scenery, The Stable Cottage had everything we needed, there was lots of walks and places to visit within easy reach by car.... We recommend The Black Cock pub in Broughton in Furness, hospitality and food were amazing and there is also a lovely walk along the old unused railway there too.

United KingdomThe quality of the driveway up to the house does need some improvement. It's fine if you are on a tractor, but not great for normal cars suspension.
We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location! 2 mile drive down a single-lane road to reach the farm. Not bad if you go slowly and avoid the times when the cows are moved.
