Can't rate this beautiful, peaceful place highly enough. Gorgeous farmhouse with everything you need for a relaxing stay and spotlessly clean too. Booked for 8 adults and 3 dogs for my husband's 60th birthday weekend and waiting inside on our arrival was a huge balloon, prosecco and homemade lemon drizzle cake which was delicious and a very thoughtful touch. Also, 3 beds and treats for our furry companions. Absolutely loved the Aga and the games and cinema room was great.John was waiting when we arrived to show us around and explain how things worked (like the aga, dishwasher and recycling) but everything is written down too.Highly recommend a stay at this lovely farmhouse and we will definitely be back in the future. Thank you so much.

We booked the Farmhouse for a 60th birthday weekend away as a family and were incredibly pleased with the cottage. It had everything we needed as well as thoughtful extras, such as prosecco, homemade cake, dog blankets and treats. The cottage is beautiful and immaculately maintained, it is also dog friendly and it was lovely to be able to relax somewhere that they were so welcome. We loved everything about it with favourites being the garden and the games room. Everything was so thoughtfully designed, with tea, coffee and milk included and an honesty box for any extra treats (the jams are fantastic) and the hosts were easily contactable and friendly. We would love to return to the cottage, it was a fantastic, peaceful spot to celebrate 😊
