The property is great for large groups. Because it is relatively 'in the middle of nowhere' there are no neighbours to disturb if using the hot tub or pool later in the evening. Plenty of space for sitting, chilling, eating and cooking. Owner is quick to sort anything not quite right. Note that there are lot of stairs and different levels so not suitable for everyone.

This was our second stay here at Hall Farm and it was another brilliant stay. There is so much to do here with the swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, games room (we loved the table tennis table!), there was never a dull day. The host was very attentive if we had any queries and quick to respond. Lovely big spacious rooms for 18 guests, and the kitchen was brilliant (we md a big roast for everyone!). Thanks so much for a great stay, we’ll definitely be coming back.

The stay was brilliant. My family have never gone away together and after sadly losing our mum we really valued the time together.One recommendation is making the rooms toddler friendly. I.E tvs out of reach and secured.
