"Town Farm House provided a relaxing and comfortable stay for a family get together."
The house was spacious, clean and airy and there was plenty of room for five adults and three dogs. The garden private and secure for even the most escapologist of dogs. A few things to be aware of... There is quite a steep slope going onto the drive from the road..this is worth knowing if you have a low car or car with a low spoiler. A sign on the wall facing the road would be helpful as the house sign was difficult to see due to the hedges in the front garden. Some of the parquet tiles in the dining room and hall are beginning to lift (I think the super suction vacuum may be the culprit). The boiler in the Studio was very noisy and that may need investigating. We did find a few dishes not washed satisfactorily but this cannot be the blame of the owners, and with a very efficient dishwasher provided, this should not have been an issue. All of the above is for information only and in no way did any of it spoil what was a very happy holiday in a beautiful area. Sykes on their part were easy and hassle free to deal with which just added to helping the holiday go without a hitch. Thank you I will be using you again.
