    This holiday was absolutely fantastic. The owners are so wonderful as well. They completely go out your way to make sure everything is happy while you’re there and they’re really lovely people. I’m definitely going to take my family back there and what I loved about it the most was that you were in the middle of hardly anywhere and it was just so cosy and nice. The swimming pool was wonderful for the children and it was just such a wonderful place to be. I love the fact that it was like being on a farm. It was just really beautiful place. I would recommend this place to anybody and definitely going back. Thank you so much for everything. I’m making our stay a wonderful time. We will see you again soon.

    Foxglove at Wheeldon Farm is a nice place but could do with a big at least a freshen up and a regular maintenance service or a refurbishment as the bed mattresses were not great the toilet seat in the upstairs en suite was not secure the patio needs to have a bit of maintenance doing and some of the description of the property doesn’t match up but overall it was a average property
