This is by far the best UK holiday house I’ve stayed at with my family. The cottage was as described, loads of room (there was 8 of us). Really clean, and has everything you will need for your stay. The hosts attention to detail was amazing, from the lemon drizzle cake on arrival to the very affordable ev charging, the home made jam, the recommendations board in the games room and the popcorn and drinks on sale too. Beautiful walks with a pub at the end (about 1 mile away). We’ll definitely to visiting again soon.

Excellently appointed accommodation with everything you could wish for including a games room where we watched a movie on the big projector screen every night.The owners were available bit unobtrusive and have thought of everything.The aga in the kitchen was a challenge to begin with, but cooking with it was a fun experience.Ley Farm is highly recommended.
