As soon as we arrived at GOULDS FARMHOUSE We felt at home. We stayed a week. And there was no complaints about anything. My highlight was the AGA. It was easy to use And the food tasted amazing.. The beds were so comfortable. It was spacious. We used the conservatory for afternoon tea & Cake! It was bigger than i imagined. The dining room for evening scrabble. The living room for evening TV. The kitchen was the heart of the holiday. The warming AGA. Made it cosy They have catered for everything. Enough plates & Cuterly. Etc.. My dogs loved it so much The amazing big garden. And little courtyard by the conservatory is handy for the dogs. Honestly! We did not want to leave Its an instant homely feel... !00 Shall be returning.. Thank you so much And my friend said. The wine was delicious.. Happy campers all round
We had a wonderful stay at Goulds Farm House. The children were delighted with the large garden, and the property is located in a lovely village we enjoyed a stroll to the local church and village hall, which offered more play opportunities for the children. The bedrooms were all clean with comfortable beds. We enjoyed use of the Aga and our family of 4 adults and 3 children enjoyed meals together at the large dining table. A lovely few days spent in a beautiful, traditional farmhouse. Extra thanks to the friendly neighbour for being so warm and welcoming.
