“Lovely conversion of farm buildings ...”

Lovely conversion of farm buildings but the best bit of the farm is the wonderful facilities for children as there are trampolines, slides, swings etc. Lovely family friendly site and very helpful owners. Would recommend and visit again.

“We had a brilliant October half ...”

We had a brilliant October half term holiday at Riverwood Cottages at Manor Farm. We stayed in the Dairy which was really clean and the perfect size for our family of five. Friends and family stayed in other cottages on the farm, which are all close together, so it was a great way to have a holiday with other people, whilst still all having your own space. Our children are aged 7,6 and 3 and they loved the farm - there are apples to pick of the trees, animals to feed (goats, pigs, horses, sheep, ducks), a swimming pool, trampolines, climbing frames and woods to play in. My 13 year old nephew and my 11 year old niece were also on the holiday and they loved staying there too. Tom, who runs the farm, is really friendly and helpful and we felt very well looked after. Also, we thought it was great value for money. We would definitely recommend a holiday at Riverwood Cottages - we had seen it featured in the Guardian as one of the best farm holidays and it didn't disappoint.

“So much to do in the area, needed ...”

So much to do in the area, needed more than 2 week to see all that I wanted. The cottage and grounds were clean and beautiful, lovely having the animals there. Swimming pool was excellent. Personally the best holiday our family has had in years. So quiet. My youngest was safe, I didn't panic if he went out of sight to the trampoline or to the swing. Josh, the host was very friendly, took my son on a long bike ride, which was very good of him. Would love to go back.... Hope they have a 6 berth cottage...
