We have been offering accommodation to guests since 1986 – a lifetime – and the hardest lesson we have had to learn is that it is simply not possible to please everyone all the time, or indeed have a fully functioning Dannah Farm perfect at all times on every occasion. Most of our wonderful guests know this and generously forgive our lapses! We really, genuinely, do try our very best to please and hopefully are able to give our guests a wonderful stay with memories to cherish.
Reviews are both terrific and terrifying at the same time! It’s a heart stopping moment when we see a new review has been published – did they like us – were we helpful/friendly/in the middle of a domestic???? Then - having made the decision to put reviews on our own website – should we just put on the good ones – include the not so good – banish the awful?? The decision is taken – we will go for “the good, the bad and the ugly” and let our guests – past, present and future decide for themselves!!!!
We have decided not to reply to individual reviews, believing it could be perceived as confrontational, of course we read them all, and really do welcome your thoughts, taking notice of all the points you raise – good and bad! (For some of the issues which raise their head from time to time, e.g., charges for corkage an explanation can be found on our
FAQ's page).
And finally, a heartfelt thank you to those who take the time and trouble to tell us what a lovely time they had, along with a genuine apology to those for whom the experience was not all they would have hoped for.
My boyfriend and I went to Dannah for a country getaway. We wanted luxury and peace and quiet.. and that's what we got. The owners and staff were so friendly and did not disturb us, they were there when we needed them yet a lot of the time we felt like we were the only people on the farm.
We stayed in the Granary suite which exceeded our expectations and the pictures didn't do it justice. Our bed was so comfortable that we wanted to take it home with us, and the hot tub was perfect after a day out walking one of the many walks. Don't get me wrong we are not the type to go rambling so the one day we did walk we took one of the easier routes (there are many different level of routes to choose from) and even seen a hunt on the way!
There are lots of lovely pubs close by which we had dinner in a couple of nights, but on our last night we had a platter, which was amazing! All fresh locally sourced produce.
Cleanliness is very important to us and we were amazed that our sheets were changed everyday although I did feel bad because it must be some task to change that huge bed!
We really enjoyed our trip to Dannah and will defiantly be recommending it to friends and family and be making the trip back there soon. We even ended up bringing back one of the farms kittens and shes fantastic too :)
