From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm and welcoming, with thoughtful touches that made our visit special. The fluffy towels and bathrobes smelled heavenly, and the bed was so cosy – we had the best sleep and loved waking up to the peaceful views of the pond and animals strolling by. The farm-fresh breakfast from Pound Farm was delicious (especially the homemade granola and rhubarb!). The little extras, like Bramley bathroom products, Adnam’s Ghost Ship, and Tosier chocolate, made us feel right at home. We also appreciated the storage space under the bed and the bathroom with nature views and plenty of hooks – such a well-thought-out space! Thank you, Emma and Nick, for creating such a wonderful place to unwind!
