“We were literally surprised and delighted at the sheer beauty of this historical house, land and surroundings.”

Catherine and her family were wonderful hosts who had prepared a fire for us and brought over a delicious home made cake that was devoured in seconds. They are interesting and witty and we had the best family Christmas to date.

“Had a great week at Garden cottage which was very comfortable with lovely grounds and surroundings.”

Catherine and her family made us very welcome. What a lovely lady, kind, friendly and the cake she baked for us was delicious. Our dog, Millie loved running around the orchard. Would recommend this property.

“Modney Hall Farm was really more than we expected.”

We rented the garden cottage and found it just perfect with honeysuckle and clematis growing all around it. It was just right with it being all on one level and as one of us being disabled found it so easy. A proper seat was placed in the wet room bathroom and rail fitted. The Hall which can be rented too is a lovely building with everything you would need with its extensive rooms and facilities. Then we have the grounds, absolutely beautiful, it was so nice to stroll or use our disabled scooter to enjoy it's peacefulness. Another bonus was the heated swimming pool with pool house. This was a truly relaxing and lovely holiday and everyone went the extra mile to make sure we were looked after. Looking forward to going back.

“Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming.”

The chocolate cake on our arrival was a very pleasant and welcome surprise. The beds were very comfortable and the cottage was very peaceful during our stay. Our dogs were made welcome and enjoying their access to the grounds. We would definitely consider staying at this cottage again
