Wootton Farmhouse

Lovely cottage in lovely surroundings. Perfect place while we celebrated a family wedding over the course of a week. Would certainly stay again.

This is a lovely place as long as you remember that it is a very old farmhouse, and has been left as such, presumable to maintain that 'look'. Not renovated (or equipped) to feel shiny new and modern, so a bit crumbling at the edges, eg rotting window frames (may be drafty in winter), dilapidated walls and paintwork etc. But the beds were comfortable and clean, the children loved the outdoor space to run around in, the swing and the huge pond with the ducks and geese. Be careful of the kitchen chairs, the joints are loose and cracked, so perch lightly! (I note other tenants pointed this out too). We had small children topple over because they were not stable. There is a 2 burner hob and a separate oven (door didn't shut properly, letting heat out) but we did most of our cooking with the aga, which was easy enough to use for simple meals. Ignore the 'playroom' in the cellar, in fact block off the door to it if you have small children as it has steep stairs. Its just a damp smelling space with a table football set so no loss. Stock up for food as there are no supermarkets nearby, though there is a good corner shop in a nearby village and there are pubs a few minutes away. One is in walking distance if the weather is fine and you are reasonably fit. It serves very good food, in fact its really more a restaurant than a sit and drink place.

A great farmhouse with lots of character. Very well equipped and comfortable.

The house was lovely and very welcoming when we arrived on a wet windy afternoon to have the log burner lit for us. The owners came by a couple of times to check that everything was OK. It was lovely to have the aga which made the kitchen very warm and cosy. The bedrooms were very comfortable, though the back room with the small sleigh beds in was nosey due to creaking pipes. We were surprised not to have a door mat in the boot room to wipe out feet on. The boot room was perfect, big enough to be able to dry off wet dogs and for several people to shake their wet coats. We struggled with the microwave as there was no instruction book. On the whole we were very satisfied, though felt that some of the luxuries we have had at other properties were missing - like nice glasses, and kitchen chairs that were not wobbly.
