Lovely big property in a beautiful setting. Loads of space, comfortable beds and nice bedding and towels. Loads of crockery and glasses, and 2 dishwashers were a plus when catering for so many people. We loved having the barn for tennis (plenty of balls and rackets provided), lots of outside seating (including small covered area with heaters) and 2Read more BBQs for use. It wasn't immaculate, and the TV in the main large sitting room was a bit small and retro, but we had a great few days. Hide

12 of us had an amazing weekend at the farm. Everything you could need for a great stay. Warm and welcoming from when we first pulled up until we left. Lots of fun was had by all across all 4 days. Plenty of places to visit locally but most of us stayed at the farm all weekend with plenty to do and see there!

A really lovely property in a stunning location. We were a family of 16 with 3 dogs.

Brilliant We had the whole family - 13 people and 3 dogs. Age range from 5. - 72 and something for everyone. We dined better than any restaurant or hotel in the area. All it took was a little planning and forethought. Many thanks to the staff who prepared the house for us. We have come away with many happy and valuable memories.
