Idyllic Christmas Stay
Wow, what a wonderful stay. We spent our Christmas holiday here with our extended family. Firstly the home was really well stocked with the basics which is so rare and it was really appreciated. The home was very well appointed with large rooms, 3 separate living rooms so no one felt on top of each other. The central gathering area was in the open planned kitchen and large dinning room with heated floors making it a welcome space for everyone to congregate around. In addition you get access to the beautiful Bonython estate gardens for an enjoyable stroll. I would highly recommend Bonython farm house for a stay in you are going to be staying in the area.
As a group of 6 adults, we thoroughly enjoyed the farmhouse. Well equipped and comfortable and exactly as presented. Having the botanical garden at the doorstep is an added bonus.

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

A fabulous cottage
We had a fabulous time at the Farmhouse which was recommended to us by Staycation Holidays. This idyllic cottage is tastefully
decorated and furnished. The location is perfect to explore the wonderful Lizard Peninsula. We were all very happy with our rooms. The two living rooms provided us the perfect space to socialize after a hard walk. We had a very happy holidays. I fully recommend Staycations Holidays and the Bonython Farm house Cottage to others looking for the perfect holiday.

A lovely family break
The layout was excellent it suited us really well with teens, my elderly parents and two dogs. The beds were extremely comfy, house was very dog friendly and the fridge super large! Great TVs and retro DVD player enjoyed by the teens. Bonython gardens were a delight, so fantastic to be able to stroll around each evening like it was our own!
Only issues were no separate downstairs loo, not really a cooks kitchen and no doors to divide downstairs areas to break up sound from chatting and TV watching. We would certainly come again.
