The park & games room were a definite hit. Arriving to the smell of baking bread was a lovely touch plus the milk & biscuits left for us. Would definitely recommend anyone to go & weâll be back.

The welcoming pack supplied on arrival was superb with the aroma of a new loaf baking as you walk in the door - great touch! The accommodation was well presented with ample space for all 10 of us plus the puppy! The added indoor activities area of pool, darts and video play station kept everyone engaged the children were so active they did not ask for their pc tablets all weekend. The outdoor area to the rear of the property with swings, trampolines and various sized slides were well used on a sunny Bank Holiday weekend by all the children. The owner is a very friendly and helpful lady ready to assist with any issue or question. We enjoyed the Boundcliffe Farm accommodation so much we look forward to returning for another full family get together as soon as we can arrange it! What a great weekend!!
