Absolutely loved our stay at Smythen farm holiday cottages. Location was great for day trips and adventures. Beautiful location with great views. Facilities amazing, we swam every day and the children loved the outdoor play area and games room. Great stay, highly recommend.
Anna

This proved really noisy as they woke early and started moving around and dragging furniture. I knew the accommodation had the bedrooms downstairs but had assumed it would just be our living space above - I think people need toRead more know this when booking. The owner, Charlotte, was hugely apologetic and was able to move us which was hugely appreciated. Hide
