Cons:

The accom is inside a disused pub which is in a state of disrepair. The room was not clean - it was dusty, smelt musty, and there was mold inside the kettle.

Felt eerie and not clean. Photos and google reviews made it seem way better than what it advertised.
Pros:

No reviews. Photos were not what it’s actually like.

Cons:

Didn’t feel clean. Was loud consistently throughout the night from people walking around and slamming doors. Felt eerie.

Een hele aparte beleving
Pros:

Ik heb in ieder geval geslapen

Cons:

Het was een verlaten gebouw. De ingang was zo goed als dicht gegroeid met planten. Het was heel raar slapen in een verlaten pand. Aan de andere kant was het wel schoon en was de badkamer goed in orde en het bed was schoon.

Fair but needs improvement
Pros:

Location was great with lots of wildlife and amazing views. Outdoor seating area of the kitchen was private and peaceful when enjoying a meal.
Working shower, suitable beds, plenty of lighting in the rooms.

Cons:

Accommodation and facilities at the tavern needed improvement. Booking for 2 guests, 2 nights:
Half a toilet roll provided for the whole stay, 1 glass and 3 mugs. Dirty sock found under the bed and bin wasnt empty on our arrival. Guest kitchen had not been sorted with bench of stacked dishes, sink with rusted utensils, and dust on surfaces from maintenance works/repairs. Stairway railing to the accommodation on the second floor was unsteady, and garden areas overgrown in walkways. Other guests at the facility would leave coded doors open so the site was not completely secure at the back entrance where we were staying. No working smoke alarm in the guest kitchen. Would be a great place to stay again but needs a little more love and care.

un liveable. could not stay! had to find alternative accomodation.
Cons:

Total lack of ANY staff on site. Limited staff was expected, not zero staff or management (OR other guests and it was a busy weekend!) Toilet did not flush. The fridge had not been stored properly and smelt. Toiletries were inadequate. The promotional photos showed a pristine, high quality facility. The reality was it had been abandoned for quite some time and it showed. The business should not have taken bookings under the circumstances.

I’m not sure how this place is allowed to operate like this. I would not reccomend this place to anyone.
Pros:

Not much to offer here. Good location.

Cons:

There is no staff, no other guests. The place is genuinely abandoned. Grass and plants are overgrown, tables and chairs tipped over. Silverfish and other bugs in our rooms. Gross food left in the kitchen. Very eerie and creepy vibe.
