Farnham Common is a charming village in Buckinghamshire, located approximately 3 miles north of Slough. The community is located next to the beautiful woodland of Burnham Beeches, which is a great spot to go for a walk in the woods, and is close to three excellent golf courses and a tennis court where you can put your skills to the test. The Royal Oak, The Victoria, and Stag & Hounds, a typical British pub with an outstanding collection of ales, are among the dining alternatives. For your convenience, there are two local businesses where you can stock up on the necessities, and a larger range can be found by taking a short excursion into Slough.

    The house had everything and more for a great little family getaway. We just wished we could stay longer! Kiran was incredibly helpful and the yoga session was a great addition to the weekend.

    Upon entering we quickly realised the photo were showcasing the property in an untrue light. The property is much smaller and very dated then the photos show. The house also wasn’t clean, In need of a good clean but we also found remnants of the previous hen party scattered about. (Under the bed and down the sofa) The hot tub jets didn’t work properly, when pressed twice they seem to jet all the water out onto the floor, the fridge was old and far too small to accommodate a 5-bedroom house, the cooker was also old, the markers had rubbed off and it took over 3 hours to work the oven and feed our very hungry kids. NO spare blankets or pillows. NO extra towels and considering there is a pool there should be plenty. The covers in bedroom nearest to the bathroom spelt of damp and the blinds in the main bedroom were broken. NO blackouts blinds in any of the bedrooms which let in far too much light in the summer months especially. To top of our stay, we were charge £220 for breaking items believe we did not break, 4 glasses (we broke 1) £60, apparently a candle holder £60 and damage to the phone (£100) all items could be replaced or repaired for under £50. A FEW PHOTOS ATTACHED BOOK WITH CAUTION. Thanks Sam
