    We spent a wonderful Christmas at Hillside Farmhouse. The farm house was the perfect size for 7 of us to spend Christmas, with so much space we could all be in separate reception rooms if we wanted. It was clean, cosy and extremely well equipped. A beautiful place and we really enjoyed spending Christmas there.

  • Hiren

    We had the best weekend and stay here. I would heavily recommend this stay. If you are looking for an escape from our busy lives this is the place. Do nothing and relax and soak in the views and enjoy a home away from home. Our host was incredible and always responsive and helpful.

  • Ashley
