We had a wonderful stay at Sparrow Green Farm Cottage! Juliete and Ian were fantastic hosts. They met us on arrival, and showed us around their lovely property and grounds. We met their 3 lovely dogs, a cat, many chickens, and the stars of the show, their sheep, who we fed. They gave us some of their freshly grown vegetable's and a freshly made loaf of bread, as well as some fresh milk, and a jar of honey taken from their own bees! All were delicious. The cottage was luxurious and very comfortable, and the huge bed was out of this world. We have not slept so well in years. The bathroom was very modern with a lovely rainfall shower. The large private garden was great. We really had a lovely holiday at Sparrow Green, and have never felt quite so relaxed and at home. We will definitely be revisiting in the near future.

A lovely cottage in a peaceful and calm setting. It is very well appointed, stylish but comfortable. Everything needed is included and the owners were very welcoming and helpful.The fully enclosed rear garden was perfect for our dog . A relaxing stay all round.

Lovely stay at Sparrow Green. Gorgeous countryside setting and great hosts.The garden was the highlight — fully private, plenty of space, so our spaniel could safely run around off lead. Cottage was comfy and clean. Would love to go back at some point!
