“Highly recommended for young families!”
What a wonderful venue and hosts! 2nd visit with a 5yr and 3 yr old and we all had a brilliant time. The cottage (Bull Run) was very homely and welcoming. Comfy beds & sofa and the kids loved sharing a double room for themselves. The facilities are amazing: indoor warm swimming pool, indoor soft play, outdoor fort and maze to name a few. Plenty to keep kids entertained on dry and wet days. The morning trip to feed the animals with James was a highlight and the kids are still talking about it since leaving. I personally enjoyed meeting James & Pippa and their kids as well as the other families too. The afternoon activities such as Den building and Bamboo Name Plates gave an excellent opportunity to make new friends. Could not recommend highly enough for any family with young kids!
“So good we didn’t want to leave”
We have just returned from what I can only describe as a magical week on Glynn Barton farm. The set up was just perfect for our two year old twins and four year old who constantly need entertaining. There is so much to do for children of all ages, they never get bored! The arrangement of the cottages is such that the children regularly get together and play on the communal lawn outside your accommodation. The animal feeding and the organised activities for the children was absolutely brilliant – the stuff that happy memories are made of! Pippa and James (the owners) are amazing with both parents and the children and are very focused on ensuring that you have a brilliant stay. Their attention to detail is seriously impressive!
“Perfect in every way”
Wow… What a find! Never been anywhere so perfectly set up for small kids to have fun and adults to chill back! Pippa and James are the perfect hosts… It feels like you’re staying with old friends for a week. They laid on loads of fun stuff like marshmallow toasting, den building and daily animal feeding and made us feel super welcome and looked after. They even provided calpol and paw patrol plasters for a late night emergency with our daughter! Really can’t rate the facilities or, especially, the lovely hosts and friendly community vibe highly enough. Gutted to leave, can’t wait to return. Thanks so much Pippa and James… You guys are amazing!
