The farmhouse was warm and welcoming. It is spacious and comfortable, with good beds and showers. The massive kitchen was great for family meals. The table tennis table was very popular on wet days, and it was lovely having a games room, with games provided. The area to remove muddy boots and coats was very useful. Be prepared for some narrow countRead morery roads, as the location is deep in beautiful countryside, wonderful for walking; the views from the farmhouse are superb. Hide

A beautiful countryside location, remote but so peaceful. The night sky, if clear, is stunning. Spacious house and gardens with lovely farm walk down to the bridge and stream. Comfortable and clean, with lovely touches.

We had a wonderful stay at Castle Farm over New Year. The cottage was the perfect set-up for our family gathering across 3 generations with plenty of bathrooms and social spaces to spend time together. It is beautifully decorated with everything you could need for a relaxing break. The location is remote, in a stunning setting looking across fieldsRead more and we thoroughly enjoyed the peace & quiet. The large boot room is ideal after a muddy walk, and a warm fire awaits in the cosy lounge. Hide
