"We had a good time in your full of character holiday home."
The garden and pond was full of wildlife including a swan for a few days. Thank you for being available and very responsive to our queries on arrival.

"What a beautiful peaceful place to relax and recharge."
Took our 5 children and the dog and never saw them so chilled, the games room being a huge plus, no phones, no xbox, just imagination, fresh country air and nature, we wished we booked for longer. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.
It was wonderful to welcome you and your family to Brook Farm Jay. Just sorry it was booked and you couldn't stay longer. Come back soon! Property Owner

"Really nice farmhouse, I would highly recommend this venue."
the grounds are really nice and well maintained, beautiful scenery and very remote. The woodfired hot tub next to lake is a nice touch, also the barn with Pool table, Table tennis table, Dart board and Boules make it a fun place to be. Please be aware that the stairs are very steep and windy, we had elderly parents with us and they couldn't make it up and down them, so had to sleep in the front room on a put me up.
Hi Jason Thanks for your feedback. We are very transparent on our listing about the steep stairs so guests should definitely get in touch if they have anyone with mobility issues or any access questions. We have no access issues on the ground floor at all and there is a full bathroom there. Property Owner
