Family friendly. Outdoor, heated swimming pool in summer for residents only. Owners very friendly, and approachable, very clean rooms. Everything there that you need for your holiday. We stayed here in Feb 2024 and were the last guests before the new owners took over.

Bird Farm is self catering. It has 5 apartments to let ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. Very comfortable and the owners are very helpful. They are on site. Update on this review this property has now been taken over by another owner there does not to be many changes except some furniture but the price has doubled. The new owner when approached over the price increase was very defensive and insisted that she has run several properties and the price is fair. In my opinion due to the location and the facilities on offer this does not warrant the doubling of the price. So I withdraw my recommendation for this property.

The owners are very friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. The cottage is very clean and tidy. It has a pool and a games room. Good central heating and decent shower. Well equipped kitchen. The only minor thing seems to be the WiFi as it will not reach in the cottage I'm using. Apart from that everything seems spot on here. Good location. Highly recommended.
