Kirsteen C, Feb 2025: "Perfect An absolute gem of a place. Hosts were excellent - great communication in the run up to our stay and whilst we were there. Great place to stay - perfect infact. Highly recommend and hope to visit again the future.
Our cottage was delightful, extremely comfortable. The pool and outdoor area was excellent. Thanks for a great stay. "
Bgerra, Jan 2025 "A lovely visit My husband and I stayed in the Fat Hen cottage as part of an extended family group with my sister’s family who were in the Farmhouse. Very impressed by all aspects of our stay. Both houses had everything needed for a comfortable visit. They were beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout. The tasty brownies in the Emma Bridgewater tins were particularly appreciated!
The facilities for the young children in our party were excellent. They loved their opportunity to feed the goats and guinea pigs in the morning and lots of thought has gone into to the resourcing of the playroom. The pool was larger than expected and a real success!"
Deborah R, Jan 2025"Amazing family stay! My family stayed in the Farmhouse in November and it exceeded our expectations. Kirsty and Graham were exemplary hosts and couldn’t do enough for us.
We fed all the animals in the snow, it was magical. Then the swimming pool was the icing on the cake, my six grandchildren were in their element. Not forgetting my two daughters and son in laws. All in all a fabulous time was had and we can’t wait to go again."
