Beautiful clean house in a quiet location, BBQ hut was lovely, and the games room had plenty of space to play the games that where there. Safe enclosed gardens for the dog, Dog towels by the front door for muddy paws, and blankets in the lounge if needed.

Stunning cottage, brilliant location very very well equipped! Very spacious, very modern and very well decorated! We will be returning as it was perfect for 6 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs and we still had plenty of space to spare!

We had a very comfortable stay with lots of space in the farmhouse. Very clean, warm and homely for our stay at the end of November. We had a fab time in the BBQ hut - which is a lot bigger on the inside than it looks from the the outside! Thank you. 8 adults and 1 dog on our annual get together.

We had an amazing stay at the farmhouse for my mum's 50th birthday with the family and our dogs. The games room was a hit with lots of entertainment, and the cozy BBQ hut added a unique touch to our evening. We chose this place due to uncertain weather, but we were lucky! Clayre was so kind and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. The larRead morege space was perfect for the dogs to roam freely. Overall, it was the perfect getaway for a lovely family weekend away! Will definitely visit again. X Hide

Games room and BBQ were a big bonus for us. Ideal for entertaining children and adults when the weather is less than perfect. Two ovens provides vast capacity if you're cooking for a full house. Safe and enclosed back garden very useful for the dog. Owner, Clayre, couldn't have been more helpful.

We had a great time and the property was fab. It was very clean and well equipped, we couldn't fault it. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 3 children. The outside space was good as were the games room and BBQ. We were lucky to have good weather for an added bonus. I didn't meet the owner Clayre but spoke to her on the telephone and she was very frienRead moredly and helpful. She also left us a lemon drizzle cake which we all enjoyed. I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Hide
