Wonderful family holiday home
A beautifully maintained and delightfully decorated farmhouse. Everything in working order and all bedrooms equal in size and comfort. A big group of siblings and partners we enjoyed a wonderful holiday. Excellent location and welcome from the estate housekeeper. The welcome pack was generous and useful.

8 friends spent a very confortable week at Bonithon Farm
In 2019 we spent a week walking and looking at gardens. Visiting Bonython estate made us fall in love with the place and we dicided if we come again we have to stay at this place! So we did this year 2022, not all 8 thought it was such good idea to stay in one place walk and visit gardens from there, but after having done so, everyone was happy!!!we
