Negative Reviews
negative:
You'll need a car.
Aside from the local pub, there isn't much else in the immediate area and, because the property is located down country lanes, you'll need a vehicle if you want to go somewhere else to eat in the evening.
negative:
A bit too warm.
The guestrooms at Shawgate Farm Guest House can get a little stuffy, and even opening the window doesn't always fix the problem.
negative:
Time for an update.
Some of the furnishings in the guestrooms seem a little dated. Similarly, the bathrooms and shower facilities could certainly use a spruce up.
