Once again we had an absolute dream of a week staying at the Green Farm Cottages , Karen and Mike have thought of every tiny little thing you could possibly want, and it makes for the most relaxing and enjoyable stay. We have now stayed at the cottages 5 times and we certainly will be booking for our 6th visit soon. The cottages are immaculately clean, the hosts are wonderful and friendly and the location is second to none.We cannot rate these cottages highly enough!
