    Bed was hard, but it improved with a mattress topper. Food was OK.

    Wizzy and John are terrific people who bring you into their family and make you feel at home. The horse riding and hiking are great!

    Our room had water pressure issues on the second day and we struggled to shower with the little pressure. However on day one the pressure and temperature were excellent, so it might help to remind the host to pump in good time. Also, the host offers the option to have supper with her family at a fee. The food was delicious. On day one we had a delightful potato and leek soup, and spaghetti and meatballs which were a favorite for all of us. On day two however, they served chapati and lentils. Much as it was well done, it wasn’t a favorite for me. So it helps to ask before hand what they will be serving for supper which allows you to make an informed decision whether to eat out or in.

    The property sits on lush and expansive land with an amazing view of Mt Kenya. We had a wonderful farm experience with goats, chicken, pigeons and very well behaved dogs on site. The cherry on the cake are the horses which my daughters thoroughly enjoyed riding of course at an extra cost. They serve a basic continental breakfast which is part of what one pays for. The bread and cakes are freshly baked and the milk is fresh from the goats that reside on the farm. We loved the cozy living room with books, boardgames and a fire place which made for a lovely place to bond after dinner. The host Wizzy and her team were always available throughout our stay to assist in any queries we had. I also loved the proximity to various eateries, and to Nanyuki. We drove out on both days and explored different eateries (Tree Trout and Barney’s) which were about 12 and 20 minutes from our stay, and we also took a drive to MT KENYA National park, accessing it from Sirmon’s gate in Timau which was about 40 minutes away.

    Nothing comes to mind.

    This accommodation is quite remotely situated but well worth the effort to get there. It is an excellent large house well kept by the hosts with good on-site parking. The rooms sizes are exceptionally large and well furnished. The WiFi was good and the girls running the accommodation made a good breakfast and evening meal.

    1.Its 4km inside on a dirt road which gets tricky especially when it rains. 2.Guests have to open and close the gate of the property which was rather an inconvenience because of the pouring rain and mud. 3.There was no water in the morning so we had to go about our activities without taking a shower. This was however fixed after a couple of hours 4.Food menu is quite limited but Wizzy was quick to give us suggestions of alternative restaurants near the property. 5.Wifi was abit unstable so we just ended up using our bundles

    The room was spacious and clean. Bed was very comfy and warm. We were able to find out way easily to the property.

    The property and grounds are run down and badly need maintenance. There’s no water in the pool and no other entertainment for non- horse riders. Food was limited and without variety.

    Location and views of Mt. kenya was wonderful. Also walking to the stables & the nearby forest was a good experience.

    Absolutely nothing, we will be forever grateful to have found the farm and plan to return many times over.

    Such a beautiful property in a stunning location, with the most wonderful hosts Wizzy and John! The room was incredibly spacious with a beautiful view, but it must be said we spent most of our time in the homely communal areas and the amazing stables.

    nothing really undesirable be aware that credit card is not accepted as a payment method via booking.com

    this place is a wonderful place to be! as soon as you arrive it feels like coming home, very familiar, as you are close to other guests and the hosts you feel extremely welcome the garden is lush, the whole area is very inspiring whether you are seeking for some adventure or for retreat throughout the day you can gaze towards Mt. Kenya from several spots, either on a horse or from your breakfast table ;) definitely a place to come back!!

    the property itself is exceptionally beautiful and very clean but the two girls running it are so kind and helpful. We ended up arriving later than planned and didn’t have time to eat. They whipped us up an amazing dinner of their menu and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. It was so convenient for us.

    I enjoyed everything about my stay other than the credit card option not working and having to come up with cash to pay. My suggestion for this property (and in Kenya in general) is to just plan to pay for everything in cash.

    The property is gorgeous. Food is delicious. Staff is accomodating and friendly.

    It was a bit difficult to find, but this was partly due to me not following the directions properly. The directions were clear, I was just not paying attention.

    Jenny and Emily were super friendly and helpful. They are also amazing cooks and the food was delicious. The rooms are spacious and light and depending on the room you have a great view on Mt Kenya or the Aberdare Mountain Range. The beds were very comfortable and, bonus, the property is off the grid and is eco friendly.
