This farmhouse was perfect for our wider family holiday together. The kitchen was spacious for several of us to be cooking together, and excellently equipped with lots of large pots and pans, and lots of cutlery & crockery & glassware. The fridge freezer was big enough for our large shopping order. The big separate dining table was a joy as we coulRead mored leave this permanently set out for meals with room for high chairs at each end. Hide

The house itself was lovely as was Marcey and in a beautiful location. However the above issues need to be addressed to make the house suitable for 12 people. Another major issue was the right hand oven door which we could only use with a chair against it with a heavy weight on it. As we were catering for 11 people we needed both ovens. On the plusRead more side the welcome basket was generous and a lovely touch as were the fresh flowers and there was plenty of crockery etc. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Hide

Lovely place good location and very well equipped. Friendly owner and lovely secure garden for our 8 month old lab. A bit pricey but it was half term.

A lovely large old farmhouse which is surprisingly warm. Grandchildren loved it and nice to have a private driveway to park all 3 cars in. Easy to get around island from there. Lovely nearby walk to Apeldurcome House.. enjoyed a very happy week there.
