Refreshing Christmas Farm Stay
Our Christmas stay at Luke's farm was very pleasant and we enjoyed the open spaces and animals surrounding our well appointed 'shed' cottage. The tranquility and fresh air and cool nights provided the perfect conditions for a sound sleep.
The beds were comfortable, and there were two night stands and lamps, including ample hanging space and drawers for your clothes.
Air conditioning is available in the main area and ceiling fans in the bedrooms.
The kitchen had everything you need for self- catering, and the clothes washer and dryer were a bonus.
The place was spotlessly clean, and there was a stick vacuum to help with our exit cleaning. This is a first as we normally have to use a broom and dustpan and brush.
Comfortable lounge furniture and a big flat screen TV made relaxing during the evenings very pleasant.
In the bathroom there has ample bench space for your toiletries and the shower is spacious.
Had we stayed here in winter and used the wood burner we would have to pay for the wood we use. Other places we have stayed at were happy to provide a wood pile and as much wood as we need at no charge.
This place has been converted very well to accommodation and has been tastefully decorated.
Luke was a gracious host and was quick to help make our stay comfortable.
Some stay improvement suggestions:
A corner lamp with soft lighting in the living area would be handy to avoid having to use the range hood light.
We would suggest adding block out drapes to keep out the early morning summer light in the main front bedroom. At this time of year the sun was streaming in at sunrise and, as well as the blind not blocking light, it was also shining through the side of the blind making it daylight before 5.30am.
The patio furniture would be best placed under cover as it was not possible to use during the day unless you wanted to sit in the sun, which we avoided at this time of year. So, either swap around the barbecue or install something above to provide shade over the table and chairs.
We really enjoyed the area and the property including the starlit night skies.
Thanks, Luke, for having us.
