Lovely break in a tranquil setting

We booked the farmhouse for Easter weekend and to celebrate our mums 84th birthday. Everything was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the house was lovely and warm We had a wonderful weekend relaxing and going to the beaches nearby Highly recommend The Pymore Inn for food where we all went for mums birthday lunch The games room at the farmhouse was particularly popular with the teenagers who had a pool tournament Thank you for a memorable stay!

Perfect Christmas!

We had the most wonderful stay at the farmhouse. Everything was perfect. The hosts were friendly and helpful, the surrounding countryside was stunning, and the house was ideal for a family get together and entertaining. I wanted to stay here forever! Thank you so much to Adrian and Sue for accommodating us. *****

Perfect for a pre Christmas get together.

We always choose a large house catering for 12 for a family get together. We have a Christmas dinner for which the kitchen was great and the lounge was one of the best we have stayed in for size and comfort. The house was lovely and warm and the beds were very comfortable. It is very rural but only a short drive to take a walk along the coastal path and the rest of the time we spent chilling out ...

Absolutely perfect for our special family celebrations getaway with the dogs too. Spacious and so well equipped - we cooked breakfasts and dinners for 12 most days and could enjoy the food around the lovely big table all together. Beautiful walking straight off the farms and short drive to our favourite hills. Comfortable beds and plenty of storage. Adrian made us feel so welcome and we quickly made the farmhouse our home. Hopefully, we will return again for future family celebrations.
