Reviews

We have just returned from a wonderful few days away at this cottage. We had such a warm welcome from the owners with a homemade apple cake and eggs from their chickens. The cottage is huge with plenty of space for 8 people. The fire is amazing and the owners provide plenty of wood. You have everything you need for a lovely break. Highly recommend booking this beautiful cottage.

We have recently stayed in Church Farmhouse and we had a wonderful stay. They welcomed all 9 of us. We also had our 4 month old puppy and were grateful for the treats left for him on arrival along with our chocolate muffins which were enjoyed by all. Rooms were comfortable and welcoming, we enjoyed cooking on the aga (first time for all ) Highly recommended and we will return Thank you.

The cottage had everything you would need for a stay. It was clean, comfortable and of a very high standard. The owners were always approachable and available for advice. They gave us excellent information about places to visit, walks and places to eat.

We all had a fantastic time at Church Farmhouse and can't praise the house, the area or the owners enough. The village is a really friendly place to spend time in and there is lots to see and do within a very short car journey. Between our group we have visited many self catering cottages and houses and we have to say that this is one of our favourites.
