The Old Farmhouse Finchingfield Reviews

Lizzie

An absolutely lovely house, the perfect place to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday with friends. The kitchen is really well designed for socialising and very well equipped - one of the best holiday house kitchens I have come across. The wood burners make everything cosy, and the wood-fired hot tub is absolutely fantastic!

Ian

Generally excellent in all respects.

Suzanne

Wonderful farmhouse - would recommend. Loads of space and with all the main bedrooms having super-sized beds this felt a real treat. The house was really clean and very well maintained. There was stacks of crockery and cutlery and the bonus of essentials like Tbags, coffee, sugar etc as well as cling film and foil. We loved having the ponies and doRead morenkeys just outside and having a chat as we came and went. Location perfect for day trips out, Cambridge was a particular favourite. Hide

Beautiful well equipped property. Excellent communication and virtually everything you could need for an amazing relaxing break.

We had a really quiet, peaceful, and relaxing week. Quite remote which was great for us, no neighbours at all. You would not know that you were near a farm. 25 mins to a supermarket, so need to be organised. Hot tub really good when you get used to working it. Plentiful supply of logs for wood burners and hot tub. Beds really comfortable. Spacious Read moreproperty and plenty of room outside. Lots of parking. Hide

Dit is een GEWELDIG huis. Prachtige omgeving, heerlijk afgelegen tussen de velden en alle rust die we nodig hadden tijdens een weekje weg. Zeer mooie en ruime kamers. Perfect uitgeruste keuken. Grote tuin, lieve ezels en ponys in de aangrenzende wei, en de hot tub maakt het plaatje compleet. AANRADER!

2 points to note the hot tub takes hours to warm up and the location is very remote with lots of pot holes to watch out on the private road there. Otherwise it was a great place to stay, thank you.

The farm is a lovely rental property, spacious and well equipped. Any queries were dealt with promptly

Have just returned from a wonderful family holiday at The Old Farmhouse. Absolutely delighted by the high level of comfort and thoughtful and generous touches proved by the host. Supremely comfortable beds with goose down quilts and pillows coupled with high end bathroom fittings and fluffy towels gave a real luxury hotel experience but with the ad ded comfort of an amazing amount of space and plentiful supplies of crockery and kitchen equipment. Spacious house but warm and cosy in every way.
