My family and I stayed at Bonython Farmhouse over Christmas and had a wonderful stay. The farmhouse is lovely and traditional and provides a great space for all to enjoy, dogs included. The estate is vast and has many lovely walks right on the doorstep. I'd highly recommend a stay at Bonython and wouldn't hesitate to come back.
