Canon Court Farm was a great property in an ideal location for a group of golfing anglers. With 6 good-sized bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large living room and enough space to park at least 6 cars it proved to be very popular with everyone in our group. The owner was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the vicinity and it helped that we were lucky with the weather. All in all, a great week.

An ideal location for anyone wanting to explore the area. Host was welcoming and explained everything about the cottage and the area.Like any accommodation there will be ‘Pro’s and Cons’ However, overall for a family holiday which included the desire to explore the area, sightseeing the countryside and exploring the coastline the accommodation was great value for money

We have to agree with previous reviews the farmhouse is in desperate need of some TLC and investment. Previous comments sum it up. We can confirm the floorboards are noisy and it’s impossible to be quiet when others are a sleep. I would also take own towels some had seen better days and varied in size. That said this house works well for us to use as a base for local family events and is our second stay.
