John & Sue Dadson
A wonderful place to stay for peace and quiet. The Farmhouse is immaculate, John and Kate have thought of everything. The beds are really comfortable, the sofas relaxing and the conservatory a lovely place to sit and read or chat over a coffee with the delicious lemon drizzle cake made by Kate. We all loved the entertainment barn, with the games and cinema area with the projector and the drinks and snacks an added bonus via the honesty box. Thank you John and Kate for a lovely week away with our family.

Wow! What a wonderful holiday we had in the Farmhouse, a perfect place for our family celebrations. The attention to detail was incredible and so welcoming from the minute we arrived. Jon and Kate were superb hosts with everything so clearly detailed and explained on arrival. There were treats for us all, even the dogs! We felt such a sense of peace and relaxation staying here and were all very sad when we had to leave. The games room is a fantastic addition to the house and provided hours of fun for us all. It was by far the best place we have ever stayed in and we cannot wait to return. Jon and Kate, you have certainly created a paradise and we thank you for all you did to make our stay so wonderful .
