BlissWood B&B Ranch

I don't quite know where to start, so probably with the name - Blisswood. Yes, it is indeed absolute Bliss! Pre-booking and from booking to stay the communication was excellent and Carol answered all of our questions promptly. Maps were given beforehand and all the info we needed was available. Self-check in was an absolute breeze and the instructions were crystal clear, we personally love the whole hands off approach because it is Blisswood so we preferred the self-check in and no housekeeping during our stay. That being said, all the interaction we did have with staff around the ranch was very pleasant. Housekeeping - when we entered the cabin, it was exceptionally clean and the cabin has all the things (both big and small) that you need for a perfect stay. The grill, hot tub was great and the Starview cabin in general in my view is absolute perfection. I have to recommend the Starview Cabin because it has huge open space in front and you get all the sun (or can hide from it on the beautiful rocking chairs that I would have love to have stolen haha on the porch). The interior is incredible and both living and sleeping areas are amazing. The shower in one of the bedrooms is superior to the other so we did all use that, but there are the bath and showers in both rooms. The outdoor shower is also great, but as it was trellised on one side with folks passing (on horses or working) we were a little shy to use that in the day. Activities - we hired the fishing gear and loved it even though we are both useless at fishing. We did get a recommendation from the staff in passing one day that we should try a different pond and that is where we had our success. We wish we got the name of the young gentleman actually because he was so pleasant every time you passed or bumped into him on the grounds. We also did the horse riding and Jessica was a brilliant guide who was very patient with all three of us who had never ridden before, a beautiful way to see the incredible grounds of Blisswood. We needed to call upon the staff once as our hot tub had E02 error and it was sorted very swiftly (whilst we were riding). The instructions on the hot tub are very clear but would be good to add what to do if E02 error appears so we can self correct it (as it did strike again on our last night cutting the hot tub stint a little short). One little tip for travelers, do not listen to the weather apps, it was forecast terrible the whole time and we saw nothing but baking heat and sun - the Starview Cabin again is perfect for this as you get all open field in front to enjoy the sun. Loved the cabin, loved the grill, loved the hot-tub, loved the porch and rocking chairs, loved the activities. Thank you for an amazing stay, a memorable trip and birthday

The service was exceptional, nothing was a problem and from booking to leaving everything ran so smoothly. Staff were lovely, restaurants in local town were exceptional. This was such a beautiful ranch and lovely lodgings. Horse riding was so much fun. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for being such an amazing host.

We stayed in the Enchanted Cabin. It wasn’t enchanted. Then only positive we can say is that the property was pretty ( though not kept) and the bed was comfortable. Very rundown, dusty, broken patio chair, unusable patio furniture. Broken shower door , barely working appliances. No where to relax, or put your feet up. Tiny furniture. No soft blankets. We asked to have the cabin tidied up and shower door fixed. Someone came and hosed down the porch , that was it. Very disappointed, not as advertised.
