Hall Farm Bungalow is in a lovely village, and everybody we met was very friendly. The accommodation was warm and spacious, but, as mentioned in other reviews it is in need of modernisation. The shower is pitiful.It’s also worth noting that the garden isn’t secure, with a broken fence into the back field, and access onto the road, so any dogs need to be kept on leads. It was a good base to explore surrounding area from and would have had a better review if the bungalow had some T.L.C

A perfect bungalow in an amazing location. Lots of walks around the beautiful village of Shirley. The excellent pub was only a hundred meters away serving great beer and food. The accommodation was clean and homely and had wonderful views from every window. Great garden for the dog and plenty of parking too. Many thanks for a wonderful break.

Lovely cottage a little dated and could do with some modernisation, but it suited our needs perfectly
