Previous visitors' comments about The Old Bull Stall:
The kids particularly liked being on a Farm & the owners were very friendly & helpful.
Mr Bolam, Maidenhead, July 2009
We had a wonderful holiday with the owners on their glorious farm. Not only was it the quietest and at night time the darkest location we have ever stayed at, but we also had the activities of the farm animals as an interest. We used this as a base to visit other sites in Southern England which was ideal with the good major road connections close to the farm, as well as reasonable access to shops to get our supplies. We loved the stay and will always have fond memories of this visit.

Lovely location with great friendly owners. Being allowed access to all the farm and animals. Couldn't have asked for a better holiday. FABULOUS!
