Blatchford farm is a fantastic house. We really felt at home. The AGA in the kitchen did good work for cooking and for heating as wel. The location is rather isolated and a car is needed. We want to thank the owners and the organisation for the beautiful holiday we have had!

This is a lovely cottage which is found within beautiful, peaceful countryside. It is very well equipped, the beds are comfortable and the accomodation easily caters for a couple up to a larger gathering. There were 6 adults and one child in our party and the accomodation was ideal.
