This was the pick of all the outstanding accommodation that we booked in England and Ireland. From the moment of arrival as we viewed the vista of the beautiful building with swans floating on the lake in the background we were wrapped. And it got better - from the time our host welcomed us and took us to our beautiful room overlooking the beautiful surrounds and our ensuite we fell in love with Abbey Farm. The elegant dining room was magical for our delectable made to order breakfasts, again with beautiful vistas and an amazing collection of artifacts. Truly peaceful and special.

We were on a long holiday with large suitcases so the stair climb was a bit of a challenge.

Amazing bed and bedding helped us sleep very well. Breakfast was another amazing pleasure. The history around the area is very interesting i'm no historian but the information supplied by the landlady was incredibly interesting. There were also plenty of quality towels where you normally only get one. The view from our room was a surprise. Across green fields and a picturesque lake there was a historic mansion, an older church and the house was on the site of a historic abbey destroyed in ancient times We would definitely stay here again.

There were certain items that were limited which I found strange. For example there was only one toilet roll for two people over two nights. This just left me uncomfortable as it may have required us to request another roll which would be embarrassing.

Jenny was very happy, friendly and chatted as if we had been friends for years. Her cooked breakfast was very good and plenty. The bedroom was very large as was the comfortable bed. The bathroom was also huge but a little dated. Lots of history to the farm, situated in a lovely grounds with large pond and bird life.

A couple of small window pains in the bedroom were in need of repair which made it a bit drafty . However the curtains were very heavy with thick lining so helped to stop the draft. Milk for tea/coffee in the room was in a jug on the tray and not able to be kept cold if not used till evening time. Shower was very hot but not at all powerful.

Beautiful old farmhouse in a stunning, tranquil setting. very large room with large comfortable bed along with a comfortable armchair, where I enjoyed watching YouTube on the internet equipped tv. There is no light pollution, so blackout curtains are not needed when it’s time to sleep. Sole use private bathroom just outside the bedroom door, equipped with a bath and very large shower enclosure fitted with a lovely hot and powerful shower unit. I met Jen, Bill and one of the sons, Alex, who are the most friendly, welcoming hosts. The full English breakfast was great, with quality, tasty sausages and bacon, served with my own pot of tea and jug of orange juice. There isn’t a buffet style continental breakfast but if you didn’t want a splendid cooked one, I’m sure Jen would accommodate you without issue. The bedroom has a central heating radiator but as the room is a very good size and the temperature went into minus figures the night I stayed, an extra, portable radiator was brought to my room, without request, incase it was needed. When I next need to stay in the area, I won’t be looking for anywhere, I just hope Abbey Farm will have availability.

The hosts were wonderful-they couldn’t have been more welcoming. The bed was very comfy and the breakfast was great.

Nothing-it was all great. We weren’t expecting it to be part of a family home, although this was probably just not reading the detail carefully enough, and it actually contributed to the welcoming feel. If I had the tiniest negative, it would be being asked to take our shoes off to go upstairs. I appreciate the carpets were new and that lots of people do this in their home, but we don’t so it felt a bit odd for somewhere we’ve paid to stay.

Location was lovely. Hosts were very friendly, even gave us a lift to the local pub to meet our friends.

Choice at breakfast, and lack of information. We asked for an early breakfast as we had to meet friends, but the service was quite slow, and we weren’t given any options such as fruit or cereal. We were left completely in the dark with no menu, we were just brought a full English…….It was a lovely cooked breakfast, but we would have liked more information and other choices. The bathroom was separate from the bedroom, which wasn’t really a problem, but there was no shower gel, and not even any soap to wash your hands with by the basin.

The host was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our extremely spacious bedroom including its lovely view across a lake. The full English breakfast served in the charming breakfast room was a delicious feast! The connection to English kings and local history was fascinating and enhanced the experience.

A more prominent sign pointing towards the front door entrance would have been helpful. We got a bit lost on our arrival. The bathroom was fine, though could be updated.

Jennie was a superb host and very welcoming. She very kindly made me tea and toast for supper as i arrived later than planned. Then what a "room with a view"! Huge bedroom overlooking the very large pond and fields. Absolutely beautiful. Lovely freshly made breakfast. The best accommodation I have stayed at. Even if i just wanted a few relaxing nights away in a peaceful place I would visit here again. And I will go back.

There was nothing I didnt like!

The biggest bedroom and bathroom I've ever stayed in - beautiful old charm. Jenny was a lovely hostess. Beautiful views. Fabulous cooked homemade breakfast.

It would have been nice to have more toiletries available not just a shower gel which was labelled as something else. Not a complaint, but you do need to leave your shoes downstairs - I'm not used to that and I spent ages looking for my shoes the following morning, having forgotten that I left them downstairs!

The atmosphere, views, accommodation, food and customer service was just fantastic. Great place to stay or get wed for that matter, there has been many a wedding held there with the journal to show it, plus a lively collection of antiques and collectibles to further compliment the beautiful property, with written history texts available for those who appreciate an in depth tour of the past. The husband was very impressed there is also a large lake which was just beautiful to wake up to plus a second on the property if we cared for a walk. We were totally at home during our stay.
