Claire

!SELECTED!We loved the following aspects of the property: Interiors high spec and the kitchens very well-equipped, all rooms EnSite, located on a working farm, excellent provision of indoor and outdoor activities for children, not far from the A1 but quiet location. Orpington lends itself to a large group staying there, and also to holding a single larger event as we did on one of the days where 35-40 people comfortably fitted into the space. It was great to be able to book Maran and Wyandotte for more family to stay in. We really appreciated the Tassimo coffee machines in the property, and the Bose sound system. The owners were generally available and always very friendly and helpful. The highlight was to see a large group of sheep herded to the adjacent field along the street outside the property - a rural experience for us city-dwellers! !ENDOFSELECTED!

Lucy

Stayed as a group of friends for a low key birthday weekend. The cottage was impressive and had everything we needed. Plenty of parking space. Every bedroom being en-suite was ideal. Kitchen was great, complimentary cake on arrival was a nice touch. Felt private although the properties are semi detached. Quiet village setting, ventured to the next village which was walkable, and made the short drive to Thirsk, but mostly stayed in and enjoyed the cottage. Owners were friendly and helpful.
