Festive Country Getaway
Stayed for 4 nights with extended family over Xmas: Lovely time had by all! If you’re looking for modern and pristine, this isn’t the place for you. If you’re looking for character and country charisma, is this the place for you. Spacious, comfortable and full of interesting things to look at. Perfectly equipped for a large group over a festive period, with great views and fresh air too. Great! Tip: Definitely access the property from the road to the West rather than the farm track Google maps might want to take you from the East (Google thinks this is a road… fine if you’re in a 4x4, interesting if you’re not!). Host gave us a heads up on this ahead of time but one my party still took the track…!

Great location, spacious house
We had a great long weekend at the house. The house itself is very spacious and well equipped. Beautiful, huge garden, plenty of room for the kids to play. Lot to do in the area, suitable for longer stays too. Definitely recommend!

A lovely country escape
The property is eclectic and in a fantastic location. We had a lovely time. Check in and out process was easy and the hosts were super responsive. There was plenty of space for us all - just a shame the weather wasn't on our side!

Wonderful and unique
We stayed here for new year. There were 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 children. The house is very quirky and unique. Full of books and old gimmicks. We loved how the house is remote and surrounded with fields. It was perfect for our little getaway. We will book again.
