Cottage was fabulous. Everything we needed as a family of twelve was provided. Even the toys that the grandchildren played with. Location was perfect. Not too far away from the places we wanted to visit. Plenty of parking for the five cars, and a nice private garden. Myself and the children loved the tour around the Farm from Mrs Hobbs.

The whole property was spacious downstairs, but perhaps a rearrangement of the bedrooms would be better for manoverability. Saying that we had great fun and would reccommend anyone to go and stay there. There is plenty to do out and around the property. The owners were onsite to help if any problems and even took the children on a tour of the farm.Read more The furniture was tired and in need of updating, but having said this it is animal friendly.
