What guests are saying

We really enjoyed our stay at Hart Head Farm.

The location is fantastic, with beautiful walks straight from the cottage, ranging from easy strolls to more challenging routes, perfect for our family, including children and grandparents. The cottage is charming, full of character and history. Being an old house, it is quite delicate in places, so a little extra care is needed with children. It still feels very much like the owners’ own home, with many personal belongings around. The cottage was clean, warm and comfortable, with modern, functional bathrooms and a very well-equipped kitchen. We particularly enjoyed cooking on the Aga oven, although it took a little getting used to. The only downside was that the TV wasn’t working and the Wi-Fi was too slow for streaming, which was frustrating on rainy days with children and grandparents. Overall, a lovely stay in a beautiful location!
