This accommodation is well decorated and fitted out excellently. It has a fresh modern yet classic cottage feel bridging the gap between old and new. Some lovely touches have been added and make for a welcoming and homely feel. Remembering you are on a working dairy farm site there are a number of walks round about. We also visited the local HollieRead mores which was great. Very welcoming, friendly and accommodating owners. We would definitely recommend this for short breaks and longer holidays. Hide

We stayed here for a quiet family long weekend away to celebrate my wifes birthday and it was perfect! Its a really peaceful and quiet spot with a private back garden and hot tub space and the occasional mooing cow! Smart TVs in every room, a lovely main seating area thats bright and warm, nice games for the kids to play, and the whole barn is prisRead moretine, as is the hot tub. Jane the host is lovely; we even got a full tour of the small dairy farm and the kids fed the calves, a great experience! Hide

Very well supplied, all kitchen equipment that was needed was there. It looks great, comfortable and warm. Even toiletries and robes were provided. The hot tub was particularly good, large and well maintained. The area has lots to see and things to do.

A beautifully put together and well equipped property with some thoughtful additions such as robes, slippers, dog blanket/bowls/treats, separate towels for hot tub use and homemade cake and Prosecco on arrival, all of which added a touch of luxury.

Not really a downside but worth noting it requires a drive to the nearest pub or corner shop so bring supplies and enjoy the farm. Hide
