Myself, my 11 year old and our young dog spent our October half term on the farm and had a very lovely and relaxing stay.
The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, they respected our privacy and didn't mind that our dog was a bit excited by all the farm animals (all of whom had loads of character!)
The night sky was beautiful although we only got one clear night to have a quick look at the stars - I'm sure it's absolutely breathtaking in the summer!
The cottage was very clean and well stocked with welcome pastries and tea/coffee bits as well as toiletries. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed (we baked cakes and made a roast dinner among other things). My 11 year old LOVED the sofa bed and I found it surprisingly comfortable too - we had it out for our entire stay.
We're home bodies so didn't venture out but the cottage was very cosy with excellent WiFi and mobile signal. We were able to drive to an Aldi that was approximately 25 minutes away so we could do our self-catering without relying on expensive corner shops.
We only walked around the farm and the surrounding land but it was all beautiful even though we had quite stormy weather.
Just a caution for anyone with a reactive dog: the cottage was attached to the host's home via an internal door which meant we could hear their dogs which sometimes set ours off. We all got used to it very soon and our dog was comfortable enough to settle quickly each time so wasn't an issue for us in the end.
Would return.
