We had an amazing time here, the place is just so tranquil and peaceful, the use of the outdoor heat
We had an amazing time here, the place is just so tranquil and peaceful, the use of the outdoor heated pool was a big hit with our teenage son and we found lots to do not too far away. The owners are so helpful and friendly and seeing a deer stood right outside your front door was just amazing. We will definitely be booking to stay here again

We had a fab time staying at Jacobs Folly the location was so Idillic, opening the doors to the woodlands everyday was wonderful! I would say you wouldnt want more than 2 adults 2 kids! Bijou! Hosts were very welcomingWe went in October and did use the pool once which was lovely and warm. Little more home made then I had imagined based on the pictures
