We’ve booked this place twice already for a team of contractors. It’s huge, spacious and clean, and works really well for the team.

I booked this property for a weekend to celebrate my birthday with friends. The property is absolutely stunning, it was well equipped/furnished and very clean. The host also added some very lovely touches, one of which was baking us a cake, they also had a cute little honesty bar which we liked. We had afternoon tea at the cafe and visited the farm shop, it was a great weekend. I would highly recommend this property.

Lovely accommodation but next to a very very busy and noisy main road, can’t have your bedroom windows open because of it. However, there are fans in the rooms for when the weather is hot. The Farmhouse is semi detached and has 3 dogs which barked every time we were on the lawn or in the hot tub. Hot tub was brilliant. Few issues whilst staying there but hopefully these will be sorted for future bookings.Good farm shop next door with a great selection of everything you need.
