Recently really enjoyed a stay at Fieldside Farm for my 40th Birthday. Great location within a short distance of local amenities. Plenty of space for a group of friends/family to get together and catch up. Already considering returning next year!

Well appointed, and spacious house, which provided the backdrop to a memorable catch-up for our group of friends (6 adults, 3 children and 2 labradors). Special mention to the owner John who really cares about his guests, this absolutely stands out in a world where you do not experience this often anymore. We all had a great holiday thank you.
