We spent a week here for a family gathering to celebrate our Mum’s 75th birthday, and this beautiful farmhouse did not disappoint! The hosts John and Kate have thought of everything to cater for everyone, from the brilliant dining space and kitchen, relaxing and comfortable conservatory bringing the beautiful outside in, very comfy beds - I had the best nights sleep ever! And the new barn for games and fun family time was excellent, popcorn and soft drinks honesty tab a brilliant touch! Location wise lots to do and see with walks from the door step and a pub in walking distance! We can honestly say one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in, thank you for such a great time, we would certainly go back.

Beautiful farmhouse, very clean and comfortable. Even though the owners live on site it still felt private. Very quiet location, perfect for a relaxing break. The lovely extras were a kind thought. wine, homemade cake, fresh flowers and local milk. Highly recommended. Great value for money especially as they don't charge for dogs.
