Important to read

Some of our guests have expressed their dissatisfaction at various things about the cottages, so I would like all potential visitors to Squire Farm to note that:

• Both cottages are old stone and wood buildings, which give them character, but not high insulation. While we provide adequate heating, there will be draughts, please come equipped to deal with these i.e. bring warm clothes.
• Our farm track does have pot holes and we are constantly filling them.  Please take care when coming up the track.  Unless you have a very low-slung car or a trailing exhaust pipe, you should not do any damage. I have an Audi A1, which can manage.
• Xidong is decorated and furnished in an oriental style; this does not include soggy sofas.
