Long weekend stay. Lovely, fully featured accommodation, lovely location & extremely helpful owners. For us, the bonus was a tour o0f the rewilding centre just over the road which was wonderfully informative.
Amazing location! All the best beaches, activities and sight seeing are within 1.5hrs drive. Amazing accommodation! The facilities are top notch, very clean, very spacious and very safe. Our kids loved seeing the puppies, calves, chickens and fishing. Amazing host!!! Linda Banbury is a gem! Very welcoming and everyone in the farm is friendly. Feels like family home. We absolutely loved our stay at the Frankaborough Cottage! My kids didn't want to leave! Definitely coming back! Thank very much!
