“Was OK disappointed that there was no tea/ coffee on arrival.”

The play area needs to be up dated and the wood land play area needs to be replaced. On the whole we enjoyed our stay and the owners were very nice but they should be more careful with cleaning as I found large dust bunnies under the sofa's sweets behind the cushions and cotton buds in the upstairs bedroom from previous guests

“We had a lovely week in Henloft, despite the weather!”

The children (2 and 4) loved having the freedom to run off and play and say hello to the various animals. Will definitely stay here again.

“The beds and sofas were uncomfortable to the point of hurting my partners back.”

There was no room for a travel cot in either of the bedrooms, so our daughter had to sleep in the dining room - not ideal. Also meaning we had to dismantle the cot every morning which was very inconvenient. We stated we had a 1yr old so would obviously be using a travel cot. In the visitors comment book it had been noted by numerous people that the sofas and beds were uncomfortable going back to 2014 - these comments clearly hadn't been taken on board. On the plus side the booking process was quick and easy, the owners seemed nice enough on arrival and the location on site and surrounding town was very nice. Our daughter loved walking around the site and looking at the animals that was a bonus.
