Amazing house very secluded which suited us Everything was provided, kitchen was perfect plenty of crockery cutlery and pans etc. Only complaint was towels too small and needs a new kettle and more garden furniture. Will visit it again as so much to see within 30 miles

What a great house, the photos don't do it justice. The outdoor area is huge and great for ball games with the kids. It's in a very rural location and it's very quiet which was perfect for us. The kitchen/living room is a great space and where we spent a lot of time. Plenty of room to prepare food, and pretty much everything you need. Nice selection of books and games, and plenty of space inside. Very well presented throughout and the bathroom facilities are excellent. We would definitely consider a return

We had a wonderful stay at Farrington House.. The house had been designed inside to make our holiday extra special all of the necessary mod cons at hand and the spacious layout made it a great holiday for our family.I find it impossible to be anything but positive in this review.Explain colour of bins and the usage which was different to our council.
