“This was our second time at this location, but in a bigger cottage and we weren't sure if going back to the same place was a good idea or not, but we absolutely loved it.”

Amazing farm location with so much to do for the children and a cosy cottage with all the essentials needed for a relaxing holiday. We'll be back :-)

“Having paid to hire swimming pool 5 times(we were also here earlier in the year) we have actually been able to use it once, the same excuses were trotted out this time as in the spring.”

The hot tub does not exist. The accommodation itself is grubby, the toilet is filthy, the kitchen sink would not drain and the living room furniture needs to be replaced. When we were there in the spring we were disappointed in the rental but were told it was all to be refurbished by new staff which is why we booked again, none of the changes have taken place including the outdoor play area which looks like they’ve just given up. Nice people but we won’t be back and you really should re-inspect, the images on the website are misleading

“Very pleasant stay, very friendly and helpful owners.”
Mrs Wright August 2018

“We had a great holiday staying in the Dairy cottage, the accommodation is simple but adequate for a family, (a larger fridge would have been great) the farm is in great surroundings, with so much open space for children to run around in and lots of children's play equipment and the swimming pool was an added bonus.”
Mrs Gormley July 2018

“Property is very run down looking, not like in the pictures.”

No flowers, grass not cut, weeds growing wild and a dead tree in the middle of the courtyard! . The animal's seem to have been forgotten, especially the chicken. There was no welcome pack as is expected in most self catering accommodation. The cottage itself was ok, despite the ant/wasp issue. No battries in the tv romote. There was very little toilet roll/ handsoap on arrival which meant we had to go out straight away to buy essentials. Overall we were Very disappointed with the property as it looks good in the pictures which seem to have been taken a few years ago. The property would need some mantianance and also a warm welcome on arrival would be better than collecting a key from the reception without a recpitionist!!(wooden hut). I would not return here and I definitely could not recommended this property to any of my friends. Shane co Tyrone.

“This is an amazing place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone.”

Our group ranged between 2 and 74 and we all loved it, from the style of the property to the animals, swimming pool and the woodland play area. The trampoline was a particular favourite for our youngest. We wondered if the stairs would be an issue with our 2 year old being a dedicated climber but she completely ignored them. Really comfortable beds and one of the few holiday places I have been to that actually has a sharp knife.

“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.
