    Becky was very helpful and all that were in an around the farm were so lovely and accommodating. Facilities were great and the whole set up was just perfect. We visited Aldwick Estate for a vineyard tour which is a 10 minute walk up the road and would highly recommend it! Just a perfect time and couldn’t be happier, thank you so much to all involved

  • "Great accommodation and facilities."

    Our one comment would be to remove the washing machine and add in an extra dishwasher in the kitchen as there is access to a seperate washing machine.

  • "We had an absolutely fantastic stay!"

    There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for us all to be comfortable, and lots of places to sit and relax. We loved the hot tubs! The farmhouse really helped me celebrate my birthday in style, thank you so much!

  • "We were a family from 2 years to 14 and found there were ample cots, high chairs, we loved the hot tubs even in mid winter."

    The older children loved the piano although our son who plays said it needed tuning! The location and range of facilities including car parking near the property for unloading were all good. We walked to the reservoir nearby and could have done with a map to cut across the fields, there may have been a map and instructions there but we didn’t find them may be because we were only there for the weekend. Only recommendations we would make were a few more larger serving dishes & bowls for the table as were 18 people.

  • "We all thought the property was fantastic."

    The house is amazing and the views incredible. Our host was very welcome and generous too. Being given the pool was an unexpected pleasure. Our only issues were that one bed was too hard and the showers weren’t very powerful. We will be back!

  • "We had a super time at Butcombe!"

    It is an amazing house with plenty of space for everyone to spread out it. The house was spotlessly clean with great cooking facilities. The pool and jacuzzis were brilliant and the location was perfect for a walk down for an evening vineyard tour and tasting at Aldwick Estate. Nice walks nearby too! Thanks so much to Becky and the team.

  • "I believe we were the first guests of the year."

    The farm house was lovely, really old charm, full of character [mind your head in some places!]. Pool area was great, and private, hot tubs in the evening had a wonderful view across the valley. Slightly remote from everything, the nearest pub only opened in the evening, and still a 30 minute walk away. The manager and maintenance man couldnt have been more helpful or welcoming A really enjoyable week Many thanks

  • "I booked this property for my husband's 40th birthday, for a group of friends to celebrate for a few nights."

    I have been genuinely blown away by the whole thing. I was allowed to view the property before booking to see what it was like as it is always hard to see from photos, but I can honestly say that the place was even better than the pictures can show you. The owners we so accommodating and thought of everything, from bread, milk, juice to the kitchen items. We honestly needed for nothing. They made sure that we were shown how to use everything and they were on hand if we had any questions at all. We stayed when there was a big storm and they came over to warn us about a fallen tree and how best to travel on the roads. I honestly could not recommend this place enough, the kids loved running around and playing in the living rooms, we stayed toasty with a warm fire and we made the best memories. Very clean and the hot tubs were spotless, great weekend had by all Thank you
