Wonderful stay

We had such a wonderful time. Kate and James were so welcoming and kind - they let the kids feed the young calves, take a goat on a walk, collect fresh eggs and even go for a ride on the quad bike! Lots of do, beautiful location and lovely people. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

Wonderful Easter Break

Lovely stay in the self catering cottage very comfortable a home from home. The hot tube was just what was needed after a few long walks. Location is great can get to most other towns and villages. The owners were lovely and we enjoyed meeting the new baby calves. Would definitely stay again.

The owners were so lovely and welcoming, and the children loved seeing the animals on the farm. The hot tub is a bonus, and so nice to look out at the view after a day of exploring. The fire pit was also a big hit for marshmallow roasting! The property was spotless and very comfortable, with everything you could need. It's also in a great location to explore lots of different places in the surrounding areas. The owners were great help in giving local knowledge about where to spend our days. A wonderful place.

Peaceful

Good location. Private and sat in lovely gardens and surroundings with pleasant country views. Spacious accommodation with big rooms, gorgeous flag floor and a very cosy hotel just by the bedroom door, under vine cladded pergola filled with birdsong. Great blackout curtains and friendly hosts.

Beautifully furnished and comfortable with everything you’d need in a ‘home from home’ plus some additions you wouldn’t necessarily expect like a dishwasher and washing machine. Outdoor space and hot tub are both wonderful and great for relaxing at the end of a a busy day. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. Location is great for exploring and there are some great places to eat nearby. Would highly recommend

Lovely break

We spent a week here in August and have just got round to submitting a review. The cottage was very comfortable and clean and the farm itself was well kept and beautiful. We all loved the hot tub, as well as the opportunity to roast marshmallows at the firepit. Kate and James were really friendly and welcoming. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or to recommend to others.

Shave farm

What a beautiful accomodation. The hosts were very kind and gave us all sorts of information about the area. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean.The garden was lovely and the garden furniture was perfect. The only negative was the noise from the nearby road, but you didn't hear it from inside the house. We would highly recommend the accomodation.

Fantastic weekend away

We stayed in the self catering cottage for a long weekend in June 21. Kate greeted us when we arrived and showed us to the cottage, the bottle of wine and box of chocolates was a lovely touch. The cottage is very spacious and spotlessly clean. The grounds were very pretty with the cottage garden flowers in bloom. The kids loved visiting the animals and playing on the play equipment. There was plenty of space around the cottage for them to play safely too. The hot tub was a fantastic addition after a long day out. We will definitely be back!
