Lovely cottage on wonderful farm. The marked trails round the farm were well kept and made walking them a real pleasure. The owners couldnt have been more welcoming and friendly and there was plenty of information about the surrounding area. Would definitely like to return in the future.

The converted Brew barn was full of original features and modern comfort. The only concern was the placement of the microwave, having to balance on narrow steps to use it. The mattress was too firm for us in particular.

We had a great stay at Lapwing cottage. It was extremely peaceful and in beautiful surroundings. We loved seeing the hens roaming and the donkeys and ponies.

A lovely conversion that provided us with cozy, comfortable accommodation. The farm location was superb, with all the facilities being really well looked after, including the tennis court, which we used on several occasions. A lovely area, with lots of walks and interesting places to visit. Overall, an excellent holiday experience.

We had a very pleasant stay in this nice compact cottage. We were greeted with a warm welcome by the owners. The furniture was very comfortable and kitchen well equipped although we didn't use it for cooking, went to the local pub instead!

Fabulous. We really enjoyed the stay. Friendly owners, very clean and well-equipped cottage, good location, and the 'home farm' was fabulous with a lovely farm trail and a stunningly beautiful lake. Local pub was good too. Overall, highly recommended.
