A wonderful stay in a lovely house in a beautiful and peaceful locstion. The house was very well equipped with everything you could need and decorated for chistmas. The large garden was perfect for our labradors and fully enclosed and secure. The difficulty was getting them back in after it snowed, as they were having too good of a time. All in all had a perfect break for new year and will hopefully be returning soon

We had a wonderful three night break at Farrington house. It is a beautiful property that is in a peaceful and tranquil setting and provided a fantastic break for our family and two dogs. The property catered for everyone’s needs and the garden is secure and safe for dogs and children. We could not recommend this highly enough and hope to return again next year. Thank you to Jack and his family for being perfect hosts.

We had a fantastic week in this cottage, two adults, three teenagers and two dogs. We hardly left the property and spent days cozying up by the fire, watching tv and in the huge garden exercising the dogs.
