We loved the Farmhouse, it’s beautifully designed with top of the range furniture and fittings. Only little niggle the microwave was very small for our needs on the first night.Everything was spotless, bedding & towels were super clean and quality, beds were all very comfortable. Hot tub was fabulous and used every day despite the awful weather. Great location, ate at Moo Cafe and used the Farm shop on more than one occasion.Very much appreciated the home made cake and milk that was left for us. Would definitely recommend and we look forward to booking again in the future.

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.
