We had a great time despite the extremely hot weather. It was very relaxing watching the wildlife around the pond.

Lovely accommodation although there was no welcome pack, one tv didn’t work, and one of the showers didn’t drain away until 5 minutes later. The garden was very small, not really enough for our dog. The farm was very busy with lambing, the pond was very interesting with its stock of koi carp and watching the bats at night was fascinating. Lots for the children to watch and enjoy.
