We had a lovely week in Mark Farmhouse. Although there are only two of us and a dog, and it's a large house, we didn't find it too big. Plenty of space to move about (we are used to that at home) and so relaxing and comfortable. Excellent pubs in the villages round about, excellent food - especially Sunday lunch in the Cap and Feather, and lovely, friendly people wherever we went. I would thoroughly recommend Mark Farmhouse.

The house was a good size for our party of five adults, one child, and two dogs. The property was very clean and situated in a peaceful location. The stairs are very steep, so please bear that in mind if you have mobility issues. On the whole, a lovely house situated in a great area to roam and the walk the dog.
