Farm View House Reviews

Gillian
Lovely house, well appointed and everything was beautifully clean. Our grandchildren really enjoyed the games room and the hot tub was great. We were surprised at how pretty Somerby is with good walks and the local pub which is a gem. The food was beautiful and we were made so welcome. We all had a fantastic time.
Really nice place, plenty of parking, full use of all the facilities, lovely warm log fire, hot jacuzzi, comfy beds. What's not to love on a rainy cold night. Lidls & M&S at Oakham, should you want supplies and Rutland water is great for a mudfree walk with the dog. We drive to Leicester twice to visit some great restaurants, about 35 min drive away. Nice garden centre & tearooms about 2 miles away on Oakham Road worth a visit.
Absolutely top notch. Beautiful home, equipped with all you could ever wish for
A wonderful and special cottage with all the comforts of home and more, the welcome pack of a Victoria sponge was lovely as with the bread, butter and eggs. The cottage was in a quiet area and close to all amenities and sites to visit. The local pub The Stilton Cheese was lovely with superb food and a warm welcome as well as a real log fire burning away. Rutland water was close by and is a place to visit too.

Clean, spacious & modern. Very high quality fittings & furniture. Smelt lovely on arrival & looked cosy. Very well equipt. Kitchen has salt, oil, foil, herbs, tea, coffee, sugar, bin bags, tea towels & more inc all equiptment you could need, even a slow cooker. Lovely welcome hamper supplied. Games garage is large & has pool table, table tennis, table football, dart board, arcade games machine although we couldn't work out how to use it & a TV room upstairs. Showers are powerful, hot tub is a great bonus. Plenty of parking if your car is low drive in gently at an angle as there is a ramp that will damage the bottom of your car if not careful The owners are really nice and helpful. One of the best houses we have stayed in. Sat nav took us straight to the house. Locals are friendly. I recommend the Stilton Cheese Inn. Staff are lovely & food delicious. Gates garden centre just down the road is huge for shopping and food there is great too. Burghley house is a fab day out for all ages they have water features in the gardens that local kids use to splash so take swimwear or spare clothes for kids Rutland water is a must, with boat trips, a beach, mini golf & nature reserve. Ma's cottage chinese delivers and food was good. Overall a wonderful place to stay.
Really good high quality property with many facilities. The family especially liked the games room
Amazing and really beautiful
Stephen
Property was clean, tidy and perfect for 6 people. There were one or two minor issues such as insecure toilet seats and a shortage of glass wine glasses only 3 but these didn't detract from our enjoyment of the property
Elizabeth
We had a wonderful week at Farm View, the house was very well appointed and we enjoyed both the hot tub and the games room. The house was very well maintained and had everything we needed in the kitchen, and the beds were super comfy. The very generous food hamper we were left was a real bonus and very much appreciated. The local shop was also a bonus and an ideal stop for bread and milk. Lots of local footpath walks for early mornings before setting off to see the surrounding area...we enjoyed Belton House, Rutland Water, Oakham Nelsons Butchers excellent,Stamford, Grantham and just down from Somerby there was Gates Farm Shop and Garden Centre well worth a visit. A great property which we would happily recommend Thank you for making it a home from home
We had a great stay at the property. The house facilities were excellent and along with the hot tub and games room it made for a really enjoyable stay. Excellent location with a number of countryside walks direct from the house.
We had a great stay! The house was beautiful! Very clean though did find a sock under the twins beds, I guess they were a double and it just wasn't seen! and very well equipped! We loved the games garage though sadly couldnt get the Netflix working in the cinema room. The kitchen had plenty of Crockery and cutlery and things such as dishwasher tablets, foil, serviettes etc. thank you! We loved the hot tub and the lovely touches such as board games. The house smelt lovely I noted the fragrance in the hall! and so clean considering its dog friendly. The owners shared lots of information about the property and surrounding area which we found very helpful to plan our stay. Thank you!
It was a wellmaintained house, clean and enjoyable to stay. The only thing is when we get there, we followed the post code and It took us to the Farm .. Rachel is very helpful and we finally found the place! I definitely recommend the house to stay in. We enjoyed the games room as well. Pool table, ,table tennis,,Darts, and the cinema room! Finally the Hot tub is Fantastic! Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Jennie
The house was well appointed and we had some great days out in the local area. The welcome food supplies were great especially the delicious cake. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Beautiful holiday cottage, exactly what I was looking for to entertain a variety of ages for a family gettogether. Very comfortable, clean and spacious. The games room and hot tub are what makes Farm view extra special, the owners have really got this right. The very generous food hamper was very much appreciated too. If we are looking to do this again, Farm View would be my number 1. 5
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay & everything from how clean the place was to the comfort of the beds. Could not fault a thing. Food Gifts on arrival were a lovely touch. Highly recommend
Leanne
We had a brilliant stay and didn't want to leave, would 100 recommend and will definitely go back. The hottub and games room were great even in this cold weather
Adelola
We had a lovely weekended at farm view house. We spent a lot of time enjoying the hot tub, playing games in the games room and just resting. The host was lovely, approachable and welcoming. My interaction with her was pleasant. We were left a wonderful surprise a cake, we all enjoyed the sponge cake and could not believe how yummy it tastes. I took some home to my kids and my daughter loved it and keeps asking for more. Thank you so much to the host of farm house view for making our stay a pleasant one.
A wonderful holiday cottage, in a lovely location. The house was very well equipped, and we thought that before finding the 'hidden' drawer filled with even more utensils inside the cutlery drawer! Very comfortable and homely, with the added bonus of the games room and hot tub. Would also recommend the local pub, The Stilton Cheese Inn, whose Landlord and Lady were very welcoming.
A great property all round. The games room was really well equipped and the hot tub appreciated. When we encountered a small issue the owner was prompt to resolve it and always friendly. Would recommend to anyone.
We loved our stay at Farm View. It was just me and my husband and the dog, as our children were away on school trips. But we would definitely come back with them sometime as they would love the games room! It had everything we needed and the cake, eggs, bread and butter were a lovely touch and delicious. Thank you for a great stay!
Kathrine
Absolutely wonderful and the owner is a delightful lady very happy and a lovely home will be back
Great property and location, would consider again, thanks
Lovely property and a fantastic stay.
Exactly what we had hoped for our family break.
Our second stay in Somerby and once again we really enjoyed it. The cottage provides such a range of options and space and its kept at a very high standard. Weve never found anywhere like it. The location is also ideal for us, both to visit family and nearby attractions such as Rutland Water. A highly recommended cottage!
Absolutely fabulous house. Comfortable beds with good linens. Best well equipped kitchen of any property we have ever stayed in. Netflicks a bonus and games room even better.Amazing hot tub too. Great communication from Rachel. Would heartily recommend to book
The property was immaculate and welcome gifts were loverly, cake, bread, eggs, milk etc. the games room was a great bonus and although the hot tub wasnt used it did look very inviting. Well placed property for exploring Rutland water and the surrounding area and situated in a lovely village.
A very nice property in a lovely village. Very clean and beautifully presented inside and out. The hot tub is awesome
Philip

We had a fantastic stay at this new build cottage in a lovely quiet location, with a pub a short walk away. Great facilities and lovely touches. Would most definitely stay again.
Kirsty
The house was immaculate and the facilities were 5 star, especially enjoyed the games room. The cake on arrival was delicious! Highly recommend going to the Stilton Cheese pub for a meal, the food is amazing and generous, the staff are friendly and accommodating. We all had a great time celebrating my husbands 40th. Would definitely return for another visit.
Had a lovely stay at Farm View house and would book again.
Lovely place. Very clean. Everything provided. Good location really enjoyed the week. I would highly recommend this place. Bread milk eggs butter and a beautiful home made cake left for us on arrival. Can't fault it at all. Top class
What a splendid place for a family to spend a week together. The house is lovely the games room is extensive the surrounding countryside is beautiful.
Sharon
Lovely house which was very clean. Bigger than the pictures looked and in a lovely area. Garden Center down the road has the most amazing restaurant. Hot tub was lovely and clean, great stay and highly recommend.
From the moment we walked in to Farm View we knew it was somewhere we were going to feel comfortable. What a perfect house for a family break. Spacious, clean and a great location. Games room is great fun and hot tub is a nice treat too. Highly recommend. The owners have thought of everything.
Really pleased we booked Farm View House. The accommodation exceeded our expectations, with everything and more we could have wished for. The location is perfect for exploring and we were made to feel very welcome by Rachel and Chris.
Michelle
The house was over and above expectations and Rachel &Chris were so accommodating in helping with anything they can during your stay .
The property and owners were great, the interaction with Sykes was not as good, the directions for the house from sykes took us to a place nearly a mile away. when called they were unhelpful and just told us to contact owner instead, very poor customer service again.
Jennifer
We loved staying in Farm View House. When we arrived the house was immaculate and the facilities superseded our expectations. The fresh cake and bread was a lovely touch on arrival and the surrounding walks were lovely. Hot tub and games room were a big plus. We would definitely book here again. The only thing would I would recommend to future visitors is if you have a low rise car be careful at the angle you go onto the drive as it can just catch the underside of the car but done at the right angle and slowly you should be fine and also being near a farm you get a few flies obviously no reflection on the owners so I would recommend bringing something to combat that but otherwise an amazing stay.
