Lot of improvement required.
Could be cleaner. Although a farm lodge, one would still expect maintenence on external structures for a better upkeeping. For a couple, we were given a room with two single beds joined together with single bedding sheets on each.Wifi signal is also extremely weak to non existent based on where you are placed in the house.

Horrible hotel
Dirty room. Misleading pictures on the site in terms of cleanness. The place is not organised. I regret my self. On the day of check I decided to cancel my booking even with my bank unfortunately my bank said i can't reverse a payment. There's 2 swimming pools, 1 for non whites and its dirty.
