Positive - very big house, spacious, lots of space and great facilities with added bonus of toiletries etc. Negative - owners live above so music has to be minimal in day as well as eve. Snooker table room has to be closed by 10pm. Kids went to bed at 8 so we only had two hours as adults to fit games in and then had nothing to do after 10pm other tRead morehan to watch tele. Hide

We decided to get married in Taunton and came to Kibbear with the whole family for a week. Everything in this farmhouse you could possibly want for a big family holiday, 14 of us, stunning swimming pool, hot tub also a favourite as was the games room and the skittle alley. Cannot fault this place and the owner was so kind and helpful.

Our break was wonderful. The pool, games room and facilities were amazing and the fact the weather was rubbish made no impact on our holiday as we had such fun at the farmhouse. We would highly recommend this property and would defo go back.

An ideal property for a large number of people. The farmhouse surrounds were very safe for children and the large garden excellent for family games. The swimming pool, hot tub, skittle alley and snooker table were a real bonus and great hits with the whole family.
Janis
The farmhouse was spacious and comfortable, as the weather was not brilliant during our stay the pool was a godsend and kept our grandchildren occupied for hours, in fact Max who is just 4 years old learnt to swim during our weeks stay! The owners were welcoming and very helpful and we had a lovely week, many thanks to everyone
Tom
Fantastic house for all ages. The indoor swimming pool rescued us from a poor week of weather and the snooker and skittles alley provided great entertainment.

A beautiful rustic farmhouse and grounds in a quiet rural setting. Pool room, garden and hot tub brilliant. House is comfortable and well equipped. There were 12 of us ( including a teenager and 2 younger children) there was ample rooms / space for individual relaxation and or games. The kitchen with 14 seater dining table was massive and our favou rite place for the week. Many areas of beauty, coastal and otherwise to visit and enjoy. Skittles and billiard table great fun, useful in bad weather

We had a wonderful stay at Kibbear Farmhouse celebrating my husbands 70th birthday, the accommodation was very spacious and with 14 of us staying there we never once felt on top of each other. There is plenty to do to keep everyone entertained from swimming, skittles, snooker, a hot tub as well as a play area, which all got plenty of use. The bedro oms were all comfortable and well equipped with bathrooms. Overall a great place to stay for larger groups with plenty to keep everyone entertained
Helen
Amazing place with idyllic surroundings. So much fun for all the family
Laraine
An absolute must-stay for friends and family So many facilities, so well kept. Something for everyone and everyones space. Pool, hot tub, skittles, snooker, walks, lots of places to visit. The fun never ends. Or as peaceful as you could wish. Kibbear offers you the choice. Have booked 3 times in one year. My favourite place to be.
Susan
Fabulous time had by all 3 generations ranging from 7 to 70. Shared pool and private hot tub well used as well as the skittle alley and snooker table.Kitchen equipment more than ample for the 14 of us. The children already adking for a return visit.
Louise
This is a lovely home from home place to stay, it had everything we could have possibly asked for and more!! Perfect for a big family get together and we Definitely want to stay here again!!
Christine
Weve just had a great weekend with friends staying at the farmhouse . Had great fun with all the facilities it has . I would advise to take your own snooker cues as there was only one . but Mrs Parris saved the day by locating more for us . Great well equipped kitchen and spotlessly clean rooms . Curfew on the skittles and snooker room which has a strict 10pm finish but over all I would definitely recommend staying here .
Laraine
Perfect property for group of family and friends. Has a rustic charm, with a maze of rooms and with so much space. Relaxing yet with a swimming pool, hot tub, snooker room, games room, skittles alley all offering great fun. Will soon be back for my third visit in one year !!
Laura
A beautiful house in a beautiful location! The whole family loved it- the little ones especially loved the pool.
Wendy
The cottage is a great size with excellent facilities set in a lovely location. The pool area is fab, as is the skittle alley and snooker room. The kitchen was very well equipped and we loved having two lounges and ample bedrooms and bathrooms. We had an excellent 3 night stay, would highly recommend - we were a party of 10 (6 adults, 4 kids).

The Farmhouse was brilliant and perfect for my 70th Birthday family get together. We all enjoyed the BBQ, Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, Skittles and Snooker which was great fun for all. The Farmhouse is very spacious with everything you need. Thank you Georgina we loved it.
Andrew
Very nice large farmhouse perfect for a big family get together. All 7 bedrooms had ample space, with plenty of bathrooms. Huge kitchen complete with everything you need. Great garden with bbq and hot tub. Swimming pool is great, just be aware there is no shallow end - approximately 1.4m. Great host, very friendly and accommodating.
Nigel
Good facilities
Sarah
A fabulous house for a group, very well equipped kitchen. The skittle alley and snooker table were a hit, and allowed to whole group, young and old to play together! The pool was lovely a good size and used everyday.
Deborah
We took our family, 8 adults and 6 small grandchildren to Kibbear Farmhouse for a week and had a wonderful time. The house is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. We used the swimming pool every day, as well as the outdoor play area, the skittle alley and snooker table. We used the hot tub 3 evenings, it was perfect. Georgina was really fr iendly and helpful. We have already recommended it to our very good friends.
Paul
This is a spacious and really well equipped location. The pool is an obvious draw for the children - our youngest grandchild swam without armbands for the first time here! The snooker table had been re-covered and the oldest grandchild made progress in getting to pot the balls under supervision. The kitchen has most facilities you would want - plen ty of large utensils when cooking for 14.
Chris
Quirky property with good facilities and close to taunton.
Debbie
Very well organised and comfortable farmhouse. I t was a perfect place for our family holiday with 10 adults together. The pool, skittle alley & hot tub were brilliant. Didnt really use the games room as the snooker table a bit big for most of us. Would definitely return with another large group.
Allison
It was perfect we had a wonderful time.we cant complain about anything,we will be back xx
Peter
This was an excellent venue for a three generation celebration. Plenty for everyone to do,pool was very well used. Lots of space to lose six grandchildren and for adults not to feel on top of one another. Absolutely nothing to criticise.
Carole
Property perfect for a large family gathering.
Gemma
Wonderful farmhouse in a beautiful location. Skittle alley, snooker table, hot tub and pool provided us with hours of entertainment during our stay. The house was well equipped with everything that you could possibly need. The local shop was within walking distance as well as the pub. Both were warm, friendly and inviting. The shop even gave us ide as of places to visit. The Winchester Arms Pub was excellent and food well priced.
