We had a lovely week at the farmhouse. It is well equipped and well laid out. The hot tub was a huge success with the children and we enjoyed using the badminton that was set up in the garden and the croquet and table tennis. Our 3 dogs were well at home both in the extensive garden, which despite not being completely dog proof, none of them even tried to escape from as there was so much of it for them, and also the lovely walks around the farm that are mown in paths and easy to follow. The farmhouse is well situated to go to the many lovely beaches in the area and we managed to visit 4 over our week.All in all a lovely spot to both chill in on site or explore the area.
