As per last time still amazing, relax in the hot tub or playing games in the garage kept us all occupied. Well equipped house with everything we needed, the beds really comfortable. Only downside was the seating, the sofa was old and uncomfortable, but nothing to spoil our enjoyment. The Stilton Cheese pub was great again for food and Sunday lunch. Great communication throughout, and finally the welcome pack of bread, butter, milk and amazing home made cake was well received. Many thanks, hope to stay again soon.

The village is wonderful with a local dog friendly pub serving traditional food. The house was spotless and our host left a very welcome basket including milk , eggs and a gorgeous cake , thanks Rachel. The weather was not ideal but the games room is brilliant, table tennis , pool , darts and table football plus an upstairs Tv and video games space. I would definitely recommend Farm View House as a base . Oh and donât forget the hot tub

The beds were comfortable, bedrooms were spacious and a large well-equipped kitchen. The hot tub is blissful and not overlooked. Rachel, the host couldn't have been more helpful. We really did enjoy our stay. Thank you Valerie x
