Absolutely loved our family stay here!We were here for a week, in July 2026. Was my second time staying here, having previously stayed for a girls weekend earlier in the year. It's a beautiful place to stay, and probably the cleanest place we've used, despite it being on a working farm. The beds are really comfortable, the bed linen clean, crisp and smelt lovely! We stayed during a heatwave, and when we checked in, they had cooled all the rooms by leaving fans on in them for us. A thoughtful touch, and was much appreciated. The owners were so friendly and welcoming, we really didn't want to leave! We took our dog with us (a good size Labrador), and he loved the garden, and the walks on the land behind. The only "negative" would be how tempting the farm shop is!! We visited every day and couldn't resist buying something every time! Loved every second staying here, and hope to go back again. Would highly recommend

We had a fantastic stay at the farmhouse, the house is amazing and the garden stunning, we stayed when the weather was very hot and spent most of our time here. The house has everything you need and lovely little touches, brilliant stay. The farm shop next door was the best I have been to, ice cream parlour, cafe, all just wonderful, would highly recommend.
