On the farm guests are welcome to walk up and see the animals, which including chickens, horses and ponies and a small flock of sheep grazing in the fields.

Lovely week spent in this great location with our two young kids even though the weather wasn’t great - the kids loved seeing all the animals on the farm and the family were super helpful. Beautiful countryside and lots of things to do with kids a short drive away - although not much amenities in the village - only comment was that accommodation was a bit small for 4 of us and all our kids paraphernalia although it’s good value for money Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Stables proved to be a comfortable holiday booking. Our only criticism was that the bedroom with the double bed was too small to accommodate the bed . Otherwise the Stables and its location was good. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Very well equipped inside and out especially for young children. Lovely farm setting with friendly animals. Other than a local community shop very little in the village though but this is the only negative. The property itself and equipment were outstanding.

The owners made us very welcome, there were beautiful roses on the table along with homemade shortbread and milk in the fridge. There were a couple of maintenance problems but they were fixed straight away. This is a very comfortable cottage in a very beautiful village in a wonderful part of the country. We enjoyed our stay very much.
