Response from the manager Dear James, Many thanks for providing your feedback on your stay and please allow me to apologise for the disruption during your stay. I am pleased that you enjoyed the cottage however as August is harvest month then machine noise is inevitable on a working farm I am afraid. A lot of our guests enjoy the farm location for their holidays but understand it is not for everyone and we would be delighted to have you back and stay in one of our cottages that are located closer to town. Kindest regards Kingask Team
