    “Farnlea is in a great, peaceful location.”

    It feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere, yet you’re only a few minutes from the main road, with easy access to the A1 and the coast. The property felt very homely and had lots of charm and character, with lovely features such as the fireplace and ceilings. We especially enjoyed the sunroom and the different options for sitting outside, and it was lovely watching all the swallows flying around.

    It feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere, yet you’re only a few minutes from the main road, with easy access to the A1 and the coast. The property felt very homely and had lots of charm and character, with lovely features such as the fireplace and ceilings. We especially enjoyed the sunroom and the different options for sitting outside, and it was lovely watching all the swallows flying around. The main bedroom bed was very comfortable, although the mattress in the kids’ room could have been better quality as you could feel the springs. The living room was comfortable, Wi-Fi was good and the kitchen was very well equipped. The welcome package was also a lovely touch. Overall, cleanliness was good, although some areas of the floors and the rugs looked like they could have done with a more thorough clean. The bath was a little awkward to get into and would definitely benefit from an anti-slip mat. We really enjoyed our stay. Farnlea is a peaceful, comfortable and characterful property and a great base for exploring the area.
