A relaxed and well thought out cottage on a farm with beautiful views. The pool, games room and outside play area were just brilliant for our boys who are 5 and 7 (and me!). The accommodation was lovely too. We will be returning. Lots of nice local beaches and activities.

They were also Read morereally clean and well looked after. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Hide

The pictures dont SunAlways justice. The cottage is everything you could need. The surrounding grounds were perfect for kids & dogs alike. The pool was super clean and well maintained and the games room a brilliant bonus on the rainy days. The well equipped kitchen has everything you need, the welcome bottle of wine was a lovely touch & the grounds man (Barry) was really helpful and welcoming. You wont regret booking this cottage or any on the grounds. Perfect family holiday destination

The cottage was very nice and comfortable. We were unfortunate to have some wet weather, and did have trouble drying wet swim suits and towels inside. Otherwise, really enjoyed the week!
Helen
Very clean and beautiful cottage with excellent family facilities. Plenty of places to visit in the area and both children and dogs throughly enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend!
Clair
Smythen Farm is beautiful! It is well located within easy reach of the gorgeous beaches & theres lots to do nearby. After a busy days activities, there is plenty to keep the children occupied on site. The facilities are amazing. There is a games room with table tennis, table football, pool and air hockey. Everything is in good working order. There is also a well maintained, safe outdoor play area. The icing on the cake is the large swimming pool and sauna. Perfect family holiday!
