roomy and well equipped.housekeepers Janet and husband very helpful and friendly.would definitely stay again. Best regards Andy & Vanessa.
At first glance Church Farm was lovely.
However, there were several issues that we found that in our opinion let it down. See below: Negatives. Beds were very creaky and uncomfortable Towels were past there use by date. lounge furniture again uncomfortable. Contacted the owner ref heating as house was chilly, No Answer even from text! general maintenance was poor, bathroom has paint coming of the wall. kettle needs to be renewed. Old bread left in the bread bin. Positives. Wi Fi was great TV was good size. Kitchen well provided with utensils, appliances etc. Quiet setting, great walks and easy access to local area.
Wonderful property, had everything we needed.
Very clean, comfy beds, plenty of hot water. Lovely location, very quiet. The games room was brilliant. Superb place for three couples to stay in.
