We had a great stay at Mark's Farmhouse. The location was quiet and tranquil. There are lots of great, easy walks on the doorstep. Pubs serving food are close by and some places offer delivery too.The house was clean and well appointed with an interesting history. All of the beds were very comfortable and the bedding was crisp and clean and smelt great!

The property is spacious and well situated for dog walking from the door.Very clean and excellent standard of kitchen equipment,The owners were welcoming and helpful whist not being overpowering.Easy EV charging at reasonable rate.Quiet position within walking distance to Tillingham, across fields, with a pub which is dog friendly and serves food.Steep narrow stairs need to be taken into consideration.I thoroughly recommend the property.
