We all absolutely loved everything about this place, we stayed in the 8 bedroom stables for 20 people and two pets and every single one of us said how amazing it was and spacious, clean, fun, lots to do, always someone at hand to help. We are even looking at coming back again at the next opportunity! Location isn’t far from a variety of activities and attractions. Some of us didn’t even leave the site as the facilities there, the walks, the garden, the crazy golf, the football field, the small park area and the laser-tag was enough for us to do. The hot tub, outdoor seating area and big drinks fridge was enough. Lovely stay and beautiful decor making it like home from home. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We booked the stables for a weekend with the family. The accommodation was easy to find and was very spacious. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and there was plenty of oven space. However, we could have done with a bigger fridge for the number of people although there was a large wine and beer fridge available in the dining area. The hot tub was a welcome addition but it only fits 4 people at a time.There's lots of dining space and a large lounge. We didn't get to use the outside space but it had lovely views of the garden. There's lots for kids to do - crazy golf, play areas, football pitch and goats! the grounds were spacious and great to explore. We had an amazing time doing the Laser quest in the woods. Great fun for all the family from 12 - 81!!The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this accommodation.

This place is very good stay for cottage, very neat and tidy, comfortable bed, good surroundings and can walk around. Only thing i felt that electric cooker is not good for large group because we can't cook on the large vessels, we have to cook on the small vessels and waste our lot of time.
