A lovely, peaceful location and house to spend time in.
A lovely, peaceful location and house to spend time in. The owners, Mr and Mrs Fuller, have given a lot of thought to the development of the property, so as to best entertain their guests, and have other plans in the pipeline. The house is very spacious, nicely decorated, and very clean and well stocked with everything you could need in a home away from home. The hot tub with a view over the countryside, cinema room, and the pool table were a big hit with the family. It was a delight to look around the farm and there are local walks to enjoy. We would definitely like to return and holiday here, again, and can highly recommend this property.
The property was in a great setting. There are plenty of walks to explore. It is a great faculty with a high standard of white goods to make the cooking easy. All the family enjoyed the hot tub, snooker table and cinema screen.
I would definitely like to come back and recommend it to friends.
Thank you 😊

Very lovely house on an amazing working stables/farm.
Very lovely house on an amazing working stables/farm. Owners were very welcoming and left us a number of goodies on arrival. Plenty of equipment in the kitchen although a couple more larger saucepans would be useful as only one and for a cottage that houses 9 people it was difficult to cook a family meal. Cinema screen was a hit and comfy chairs to sit in. Upstairs beds were really comfortable and pillows. 3 good sized double rooms and a nice single room but would say the twin is very tight and literally is only for sleeping. your belongings have to stay in wardrobes outside the room and also the only room without a TV. Bathrooms were great. Only other issue was that there was alot a cobwebs upstairs around windows and on walls (yes spiders are a problem this time of year but these cobwebs were not new, especially if the cottage was cleaned the day we arrived) and I found a piece of kids clothing in a draw so maybe cleaning could be abit more through? Also a shame there is no downstairs toilet with so much space. Hot tub was amazing and well used. Would go back and recommend.
