Pennyfarthing Farm South

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at Pennyfarthing Farm South! Their spacious home was clean and comfortable. It easily fit our 8 people (4 couples) for the weekend.Tthe house is set in a beautiful quiet area and there was plenty of parking. We cooked full dinners in the kitchen. There is a dishwater that ran perfectly. The master bedroom was very comfortable and there is a tv!! One of our friends said their bed was squeaky which kept them up, and the guest shower could use a tweak for water pressure, overall we were pleased. The host so kindly sent back an item to us that was forgotten, so thank you! We all recommend to stay here."

Nellies Cottage is 4 miles from WEC-World Equestrian Center

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our month long stay at Nellie's. A fenced in back yard for the pups and a screened porch were much enjoyed, as well as a well stocked kitchen with a blender, microwave, etc. Convenient washer and dryer, two bathrooms. All in a beautiful rural area with horses and within a few minutes from the World Equestrian Center. The host was easily reachable and super friendly (although we really did not have to contact her). My only question: the ad says there is a hot tub/whirlpool, which I did not see---- (nor did we need!) Just a heads up for future renters---"
