We enjoyed our stay at the farm. The cowshed was comfortable and had a homely feeling. We loved the peacefulness of the country side and to sit in the evening and watch the Hares playing in the fields was something to remember. A couple of grumbles although they did not detract from the holiday its self. Possible a small cupboard for stayers use for food maybe in hall instead of smalll table. and an all important broom. Which had been noted in the visitors book on small table in hall way, more than once before. Apart from these two thoughts we had a lovel.

Very nicely designed farm building renovation.Everything that you would need for a pleasant break in a self catering property was provided.Just one or two niggles....loo seat in main bedroom ensuing was loose and the tap in the kitchen had also worked loose.Set in a lovely location,but close enough to everyday amenities....5 minutes in the car.

We loved it. The enormous high ceilings gives the feeling of so much space in every room, including both en-suite. Immaculate and well equipped.We didn’t expect to find things to do near by, but found a garden centre, and an old work house doing tours very close. Three cities, and Sherwood Forest a short drive away.
