  • "Mat and I stayed at Folly Farm after i attempted to complete the Oxfam 100k walk. What a place to relax in after giving your body such a battering! The house was just perfect with great facilities, especilly the SPA! Great hosts who do everything to make your stay enjoyable from bringing you yummy home made bread, providing you with sparkling wine and port and allowing you to raom the garden to collect frech cherry toms and blueberries. We have already made our booking for the same time next year where I hope to finish the walk!!! Thanks again Caroline and Mat"
