Woolhanger Farmhouse Parracombe Reviews

Emma Carter
We loved this place for a big family get-together! Celebrating my 70th with the kids, grandkidsand even the dogs, it was just perfect. The kids had loads to do, the walks were lovelyand the log fire was great for cosy evenings. Honestly, we all left exhausted but happy. Would definitely recommend for a big group!
James
Really enjoyed our stay! The place was spotless, comfyand had all the essentials. The kitchen was well stockedand the cake disappeared fast!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay in such a lovely spot. The place looks fantastic and the setting is just stunning. Only tiny thing - the small bedroom, opposite the bathroom, lacks hanging space. Some hooks behind the door would make it perfect, but overall, we loved it!
Sam
Really enjoyed the stay, would recommend it!
Emma
The farmhouse was fantastic, way better than we expected. It was spotless and had everything we needed to make our stay unforgettable!
Alex
Really enjoyed staying here! Lovely walks around the estate and a perfect spot to explore nearby attractions.
Simon
We loved the place! It was spotless, really well stockedand in a stunning spot surrounded by nature. Honestly, it’s a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!
Emma
We had a fantastic weekend away with the family. Everything was easy to find and really close by. Waking up to birdsong and peace instead of traffic was just lovely. We’ll definitely be booking again for our next holiday!
Emma
Our week at Woolhanger Farm was lovely! The staff and manager were really friendly and helpful throughout. We did wish all 14 of us could stay together in one house instead of splitting into the main house and the cottage attached - that would’ve been perfect! Still, we’re definitely planning to come back!
Margaret
We spent a lovely weekend here celebrating my dad’s 80th birthdayand honestly, it was perfect. The house is huge, super cleanand has such a homely feel-I'd love a kitchen like that! The space is well thought out; we never felt cramped, but it still felt cosy. The little touches like towels, firewood, tea, coffeeand cake were thoughtful. My parents stayed in the adjoining cottage which was just as comfy. The spa pool and peaceful countryside setting made it even more special. Definitely recommend!
Emma
We absolutely loved this holiday cottage! It’s cosy all year round, with top-notch beds, linensand towels. The kitchen had everything we neededand the friendly vibe was lovely. The sauna and spa made it extra special. Perfect spot for a family birthday celebration!
Oliver
Honestly, we had a fantastic stay. The bedrooms were spot on, really comfortableand the kitchen plus outdoor dining space was perfect for our group. There were 10 adults and 2 kids, but honestly, another 2-4 people could easily fit in without any trouble. The place was left spotlessand all the staff were friendly both when we arrived and when we left. We didn't need anything more from the property. Big thanks to the team for making our trip so enjoyable!
Emma
We thoroughly enjoyed our family weekend celebrating a Golden Wedding here, highly recommend it!
Alex
We just got back from a weekend at Woolhanger Farmhouseand honestly, it was fantastic. With 11 of us, having a ground floor room and the separate cottage for a couple worked out perfectly. The kids had a blast exploring the lovely gardensand the older ones loved the games room and spa/sauna. The photos didn’t quite do the place justice-it’s much bigger and quirkier than it looks. We loved our stay so much, we almost didn’t want to leave! We’ll definitely be coming back. Cheers!
Emma
We loved the cosy, airy cottage with plenty of space. The downstairs bedroom and shower made it easy for us. The sauna and swim spa were a real treat every day!
Laura
This place totally exceeded our expectations! The grounds are stunning and perfect for walksand the accommodation was super clean and spacious. Everything we needed was thereand we had such a great week - honestly didn’t want to leave. Would definitely come back!
Emma
We recently stayed at Woolhanger Farmhouse and it was fantastic. Super cosy, well-equippedand perfect for our family gathering. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!
James
The house was lovelyand the team made us feel right at home!
Laura
Honestly, we had a great stay! The house was spotless and felt really luxurious, even better than the pictures suggested. It was well stocked with essentials like dishwasher tablets, soapand salt & pepper - which was a nice surprise. There was plenty of space for all 12 of us, both for hanging out and finding some quiet moments. The kids loved the hot tub, pool tableand tennis courts. All in all, a fantastic getaway - definitely a 10/10 from us!
Emma Roberts
Beautiful place, really loved our stay, would return!
