| Previous Visitors' Comments | The size and amenities of The Farmhouse were superb. There were even toys and DVDs to entertain the children while we weren't out visiting nearby attractions.
Jeni Tennison, Epsom, Surrey
Jun 2008 | Our family party of nine ranged in age from 7 to 75 years. The best thing about the farmhouse was that everyone immediately felt at home. The house has something for everyone. The children could play in the games rooms while the adults talked in the kitchen or watched TV. Everyone could do their own thing without getting in each other's way.
Sitting in the kitchen together was a daily highlight.

May 2008 | Beautiful house with everything we needed.
Mrs Truman, London,
Apr 2008 | The facilities provided - accommodation, entertainment (especially the games room) were superb. The "welcome package" - tea, coffee, wine, biscuits - supplied by the owner was extremely thoughtful.
The overall space and comfort was exactly right for our party of 6 adults and 5 children - we were able to enjoy all of the benefits of the farmhouse without feeling that we were on top of each other.
Mr Layton, Thatcham, Berkshire
Mar 2008 | The space, the serenity, the ambience, the welcome pack. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. It was like a "Tardis"with so many rooms and so much space.
