The village is wonderful with a local dog friendly pub serving traditional food. The house was spotless and our host left a very welcome basket including milk , eggs and a gorgeous cake , thanks Rachel. The weather was not ideal but the games room is brilliant, table tennis , pool , darts and table football plus an upstairs Tv and video games space. I would definitely recommend Farm View House as a base . Oh and donât forget the hot tub

The beds were comfortable, bedrooms were spacious and a large well-equipped kitchen. The hot tub is blissful and not overlooked. Rachel, the host couldn't have been more helpful. We really did enjoy our stay. Thank you Valerie x

The biscuits, cake, eggs, bread, butter and milk were greatly appreciated, especially with shops being closed for Easter weekend. The property was spotless, and had everything you needed for a weekend away. The children loved the games room and the hot tub was a lovely temp! Often they are set too cool! We would definitely go back and would recommend the property to anyone wanting a quiet relaxing getaway!
