Guest Reviews – Gilestone Farmhouse

Many guests commend Gilestone Farmhouse for its generous, warm, and welcoming spaces — making it ideal for multi‑generation families or larger groups. The kitchen and communal living areas are described as well‑equipped and cosy, with features like a four‑oven Aga, ample log supply for the fire, and a large pine dining table adding to the social atmosphere. The setting receives consistent praise: rural, picturesque, and offering plenty of opportunities for walking, countryside views, and group activities. One guest exclaimed, “Fantastic, warm, welcoming, cosy farmhouse … Had everything we needed … Plenty of room for our mixed group of family and friends.”

On the other hand, some reviews mention a handful of issues worth noting. There are comments about the outdoor decking area needing attention and some windows being dirty, suggesting that cleaning and outdoor maintenance may occasionally fall short of expectations. A few guests also noted that although the building is large and charming, certain bathrooms and rooms might feel slightly older or less modern than expected — though this did not dominate the feedback. Overall, these are described as minor drawbacks in otherwise very positive stays.
