British Isles : séjours à la ferme

We absolutely loved our stay at the Orchard Cottage. New Forest is a place of outstanding beauty and there are so many lovely trails, pubs and activities around. The cottage itself was beautiful! Hot tub and sauna were also an added bonus. Chris was a brilliant host. He made sure we knew what we were doing with the hot-tub and was able to give us plenty of recommendations for what to do/pubs and a brilliant running track. He went the extra mile to make it special for us! Thank you so much :)

We got what we expected, to a high standard.

Good points: Clear helpful instructions to this quiet and peaceful location Just like photos. Stylishly decorated Homemade jams and granola, honey, yoghurt, and bought-in croissants, tea and coffee left for us Very good log burner Natasha recommended a great pub nearby Slight quibbles- (hyper critical): Shower room a little functional Fair amount of owner's stuff about - e.g material swatches, 'Dad rock' albums and hifi . Overall, I recommend highly.

Our first proper visit to Dartmoor was a great experience, largely thanks to the comforts of Francesca’s beautiful barn. It is “in the middle of nowhere” yet only just down the road really from a pub and shop. The location offers a perfect place to explore the local area. The kitchen and living areas are spacious and the bedrooms were comfortable. It is well laid out as part of three houses together and offers considerable privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay with friends and family. The property was immaculate and had everything we needed, from all kitchen appliances, extra blankets, and board games. We loved our stay and would stay again. Thank you

We had a fantastic stay for a milestone birthday weekend. Rob and Sara were very helpful with their advice and setting up of the hot tub / sauna. Really beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Thank you

What an amazing little place, great location, loads of lovely walks nearby. Lucy met us upon arrival and kindly showed us around including some local sites. The place is relatively newly done with great facilities. The en-suites were superb and the bed and the matresses were excellent meaning we all got a great nights sleep after all the walking. We will 100% return. Thanks

We were a family party with ages from 5 to 75 . Lots for everyone to do ( swimming , tennis, billiards/snooker & beautiful walks all there) There was enough space both inside the wonderfully converted barn and outside in the extensive grounds to enjoy each others company without being overcrowded. Thanks Sarah for enabling a lovely weekend .

The Old Barn was perfect for our overnight stop. It was very conveniently located, clean and had all we needed. Richard was very welcoming. Indeed, both he and Alison were easy to communicate with and eager to make sure that we had a pleasant stay.

Lovely, clean property. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much for allowing us to visit your place.

My Husband, toddler and I had a lovely stay for 3 nights at the Carthorse Barn! Annette’s place is beautiful and in a great location too. We visited the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens and Cirencester during our stay. The barn is also a good choice for families with young children as Annette provided a travel cot, bath towel, high chair and toys as well as cutlery and plates. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Stayed here for the weekend for my birthday and ended up staying an extra night as it was beautiful. The home was perfect and was exactly how it was advertised. Would 100% recommend as a getaway!

Had a lovely weekend stay with the dog, Catherine provided really clear instructions and the house has everything you need for a short stay. The welcome basket was really thoughtful. Cheddar gorge in walkable distance and lovely walks around cheddar reservoir nearby too.

We had a fantastic stay. House was beautifully furnished and more than ready for our arrival (including the lovely lemon drizzle cake). NIC and Chris were very responsive in any questions we had asked proir to arrival and made the effort for a chat at the end of our stay. A wonderful stay.

Wow, wow, wow! We was absolutely speechless when we walked into what would be our home for the next three days. What a stunning place to stay, meticulously kept and decorated and absolutely well thought out. Every single detail we can think of is included and even down to having extra oil, salt, foil, coffee capsules. Really appreciated all the small things which made the stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be back and 100% recommend to anyone who would love a tranquil stay with great hosts. Thank you so much!

The barn is stunning and the views fantastic. It was lovely to be able to walk down the fields after a long journey, and Cajsa gave us a warm and friendly welcome - the eggs were much appreciated! The local pub was friendly and we found other good places to eat too. There is plenty do do and see in the area, while the barn gave us a warm, cosy place to come back to each evening. Everything was spotless and we highly recommend staying there.

Amazing view from the house. Rooms were spacious, especially kitchen area. Great location for families 5 or more people. Quick drive to the A30 (if you can fit through the bridge). Hot tub, with scones and Prosecco was an added bonus! Had a few minor issues, which Jeremy helped to rectify where he could. Definitely stay again!

Great little barn very spacious and everything you need .. we took 3 dogs with us and they loved it .. will definitely recommend.. Mike and Hazel are very helpful and always at hand .

Jenny & Lisa both responded really quickly to messages and proactively sent really useful extra info on how to get there so we arrived stress free! Lovely barn conversion in beautiful countryside. Very clean & tidy throughout & as described. Perfect base for us to explore nearby attractions. Excellent local & wider recommendations in the info book with OS Map for walks if needed. Already recommended ‘The Old Barn’ to a friend! Thank you 😊

A mixed up family stay for grandparents, teens, us and a younger one. This place was brilliant. Grandparents on ground floor with an en-suite. Teens/little one, in their own rooms upstairs with a jack’n’jill bathroom and us in our room with en-suite. Great open plan downstairs and all the right facilities. The area is lovely. Brilliant walks and activities near by. We had an amazing meal in The Red Dragon, Crickhowell (15 mins drive). A super stay 😊

Very nice place would come back, facilities fully stocked and better then what we thought.

Myself and a few friends were looking to escape and have a private beautiful place for a relaxing new year break and the barn was exactly this! We felt at home straight away. The barn is stunning - it’s somebody’s home with books, artwork, rugs, lots of life. Once you’re settled you won’t want to leave- we didn’t!

What a beautiful place to stay! The attention to detail was amazing and it had all the possible amenities you could need. Diewertje was incredibly responsive and even left a little gift for our 1 year old which was extremely kind. We really enjoyed using the log burner on some cold and windy evenings. The location is also great for exploring the local area. We would not hesitate to stay again!

The family celebrated my birthday last year in a fantastic location in the Cotswolds. On leaving Rachel's airbnb this year my wife said: "I didn't think anything could beat last years house but the Barn was absolutely perfect". Believe me, this is high praise indeed.
