Guest Book

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.

 

“Amazing place to stay”

Me and my partner went just as a last minute mid week get away.. We had booked to stay in the studio hideaway but when we arrived we were upgraded to the granary suite it was lovely.

Management Response:

I felt I must reply to you to thank you for not thinking I was old - you must have caught me on a good day!!!! Seriously though, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and pleased we were able to offer you an up-grade to The Granary Suite - it isn't often we have it free as it is probably our most popular suite.

“Very happy to return to Dannah Farm again.”

We have visited Dannah Farm many times and always look forward to returning. We have never been disappointed. The price does mean that this is a treat and we cannot visit as often as we would like, but it is worth every penny.

Management Response:

Thank you so much for your review - it is always lovely to have our guests return as, of course, it means they really did enjoy staying with us!

“Lovely hot tub, relaxing cabin. very rude service from an elderly lady who served us after us no customer service at all not to”

First impression was lovely. fantastic hot tub sauna was just right !
Difficult to get there however what spoilt the relaxing evening was the very cold shower which should have been warm on two occasions we phoned to explain.

Management Response:

Firstly I would like to apologise for the shower. which I did - profusely -on the day. We have since realised that the "foot function" in the steam shower was on permanently if one of the controls is left in a certain position - therefore loosing hot water constantly - something we hadn't taken into account - but are now aware of.

“Romantic Break”

We recently stopped at Dannah Farm for a romantic get away. It was fairly easy to find with a satnav during the day but if arriving late or going out for a meal at one of the many local eateries recommended, it would be quite difficult to find.

Management Response:

Oh dear - I am really sorry you didn't enjoy your stay as much as you were hoping to, although relieved that you did like both the accommodation and the food.

A very relaxing break in the Granary Suite. Lovely, spacious, clean and luxurious room with a private bath tub (a fabulous feature), excellent breakfast and highly recommend the evening food platter.

Management Response:

Thank you for your review which has been very helpful. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us on the whole and we have addressed the points raised.

“Red room”

We stayed here last year for three nights in the red room. The room was fantastic and the extra touches like iPod dock and honesty bar were nice.

Management Response:

Hi - I am so pleased you enyoyed your stay in The Red Room and we do hope we will be able to welcome you back again.

“Mixed reviews”

We recently stayed in the Granary Room for our anniversary. It was a surprise getaway for my Husband so I was a little nervous. This place had been recommended and I had read the reviews 100 times over so maybe I was too-enthusiastic.

“Peace and Quiet , Excellent Service”

I booked the Studio Hideaway as a complete surprise for my husbands 41st birthday - no small feat with a couple of small children to leave behind!
