It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Hill Top Farm. Everything was perfect for our family, we range from 1 year old to 66 years old and all our needs were met at this fabulous venue. I honestly can’t say enough good things about it, we would not hesitate to book again.
As a group of middle aged to elderly mountain bikers, we were looking for somewhere located close to the hills but away from the crowds. Hill Top Farm provided this and so much more. We ate every meal "al fresco", patronised a number of local eateries and loved the games room where table tennis matches were hard fought.We had a room each and were very happy with our choice. Thanks Martin
Absolutely stunning Cottage, The place had all the mod cons and plenty of room.
We wanted for nothing whilst staying, Plenty of fridge/freezer space.
Games room was a massive hit as well : )
Thanks,
Rich
