A wonderful Easter holiday break with all my family.

Three generations, a party of 14, our five night stay was just perfect for us all. The Games room was the biggest hit with the teenagers and also the goal posts. We were blessed with sunshine so could eat outside the whole time. The house is gorgeous and was well equipped even a study for our grandson studying for upcoming exams. We loved it and hope to return.

Lovely family stay

We stayed here for a get together for my mom’s 70th celebration, and it was great . Stunning house with good amenities and brilliant games room ! It was quite expensive but if it’s split between a group then it’s affordable, we had a fantastic time at yew tree farm house .

Family get together

We had a great family get together, six adults and six children. Kids were happy the whole time, entertained in the games room, hot tub and extensive grounds. Generous hamper left for our arrival, plenty of toiletries in the bathrooms and cleaning products for dishwasher and washing machines. Great place to stay.

Amazing house in the countryside

If you are looking for a large family/group getaway, this is a perfect venue. Location feels like you are very much in the countryside, but still so easy to access. The house itself is truly amazing - the layout makes it feel huge and for a large group you never feel like you are on top of each other. Had a very warm homely vibe to the house and the games room brought a lot of entertainment for our stay. The hot tub was a bit fiddly if you arent used to woodfired hot tubs, but a nice addition nevertheless. Great comms from the host too, really helpful when we had a few questions.

70th family birthday get together

Overall a very good stay. Only gripe, the garden needed mowing and tidying up. The hot tub was either cold or too hot.

Luxury at it's best

This is an exceptionally stunning property. It's old but warm and welcoming. Large rooms that accommodate the full capacity of guests. Everything is provided that require fo cooking, cleaning etc. Even shampoo, air fresheners and bath soak. The games room has plenty to occupy all guests, a dart board would be a great addition. The hot tub is a fab bonus. 12 of us stayed in luxury for my husband's 60th birthday. Highly recommend a stay here.

Lovely Family House

We had a fantastic stay with our Children and Grandchildren at your lovely house. We particularly enjoyed the large garden and space that the house offers. The hot tub proved very popular. We appreciated your quick response to our questions during our stay. The welcome hamper was a lovely gesture. We would have no hesitation in recommending it to our friends.

Family Birthday Celebration

We had a wonderful time staying at Yew Tree Farmhouse celebrating a family Birthday. It is a beautiful, spacious house set in a wonderful location with lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. You have to remember that it’s in the country and next to a working farm so you do need to be prepared for, in our case, cows mooing through the night! The games room was well equipped and spacious and the wood fuelled hot tub was relatively easy to get going. Both were very much enjoyed. Would highly recommend for a large group get together.

A beautiful house

14 of us, ranging from 5 to 78 years old visited for a week long break and had an amazing time. The property and grounds were wonderful and were perfect for our large group. We had plenty of space to do our "own thing" but also for us all to be together as well. The house is stunning - quirky and full of character. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a beautiful place to stay in a lovely part of the country.

Luxury accomodation at a very decent rental price

Lovely house with everything in great working order Felt a luxury weekend and we enjoyed the house and it's facilities very much Lots of space for a party of 12 and enough of everything eg glasses that match etc We all loved it. The only complaint was the family bedroom the mattresses were very uncomfortable according to the friends in that room. But no other niggles at all. Thank you for the welcome pack too.

Yew Tree Farm House

Three generations stayed at Yew Tree Farm House for a family break. We had a great weekend, the property is lovely. A couple of small details were missing which would be easy to fix and would have improved our stay, e.g. not enough wine glasses for x12 adults, the dishwasher didn’t work. Also, disappointingly the property owner contacted us post our stay to deduct excessive sums from our security deposit for items / issues that we were not aware of whilst in the property, (e.g. £95 for a freestanding doorstop, £80 for a small mark on a bed sheet). Unfortunately the correspondence with the property owner post departure soured what had been an enjoyable family weekend.

Perfect

Our week at YewTree Farm House was perfect. With 11 of us staying in one place it was going to be a tall order to satisfy everyone but there was more than enough space, indoors and out. The house is beautifully furnished, and the garden too had everything we could possibly need. Extremely well located with walks on the doorstep and quick journeys to nearby shops and attractions. Thank you.

The perfect venue for a relaxing family holiday

Highly recommended as the perfect venue for a relaxing family holiday. Although a large house, it felt homely and inviting. Beautifully furnished with everything in keeping with the age and style of the property. The large garden and outdoor dining areas were well used. Games room and hot-tub were a big hit with all ages. A lovely country setting with lots of small villages nearby. A house and location for all weathers and age groups + pet friendly (with owners permission).

Yew Tree Farm- Family party

Yew Tree Farm is an excellent,large property which is ideal for large family gatherings ( sleeps 12 comfortably). The fittings and furnishings are also excellent. My only comment would be that during our stay the septic tank was fairly smelly.

Beautiful house surrounded by an orchard and blissful open space. The house catered for all our needs and kitchen was fully equipped for our extended family. We made use of the games room and loved the homey feel of the entire place. Thank you for everything x
