Testimonials
Lovely location and peaceful setting for our family break. Perfect for a restful break, plenty of space for us all including the dog. Accommodation is of a high standard and we loved the wood fired hot tub and of course the chickens for fresh eggs. Lovely walks locally and plenty to do further afield too. Would highly recommend.

We had the best stay at the grange. The house was beautiful with a lovely garden and an incredible pool that we spent hours in. We had three children under 3 years old with us and they have the best time exploring and playing. We enjoyed picking apples in the garden and making an apple pie for dessert one evening. We spent some nights sat around the fire pit and just had the best time. We would love to stay again.

We had an amazing stay here with our 3 young children. They loved it so much we just spent everyday in the cottage! They were excited to see the chickens and any eggs every morning. Making the fire for the hot tub was exciting and rewarding. We had the hammocks out every day and had burgers and marshmallows on the fire pit. Louise is lovely and went out of her way to give us a tour of the cow sheds, showing us the robots and the calves. We will be sure to come back again!
