A very peaceful place to stay, had everything you needed, maybe could do with somewhere to put toiletries in the bathrooms and hang towels, hosts we're very obliging, and the pool was lovely, overall had a lovely stay.

We loved our stay at the farm house. We were lucky enough to come during a heatwave before the school holidays, but besides the beautiful scenery, spa, pool, and barbecue area in a secluded nook, the house was well equipped with games and dvds for rainy day fun. We love to cook and felt well provided for in terms of equipment. It makes me feel old commenting on this, but we were happy with the en suite and main bathroom - good for water pressure and temperature. We thought you might want to know.We found our hosts to be welcoming and approachable but not intrusive. We saw other holidaymakers, who were camping on site, at the pool, but didn't feel at any point like we were competing for space or deckchairs.Do note that the pool is only available between 9 and 6. Although it might be nice to have an evening swim, on balance I think this rule keeps the site sociable and family friendly.
