 "Stayed at Apple Cottage and it was just lovely. Much to explore in the surrounding area but also just perfect to relax in the idyllic farm, a good mix of pastoral charm and modern convenience. Highly recommended!"

"We have recently stayed in Hay barn for a week with our children for a lovely holiday. This was our second visit to Halsbeer Farm and we love it here, Katie & Mark are fantastic hosts where nothing is to much trouble. All the accommodation is finished to a high standard and my wife actually wanted to bring the shower home with us ! Having an onsite swimming pool with the kids and adults is a massive bonus. It was a bit wet in our week!! It still gave us something to do without searching for things to entertain everyone. We have booked again for 2022 !!"

Sam A wrote on Trip Advisor about their August 2022 visit:

'We had a lovely stay at Halsbeer. Katie greeted us with a warm welcome, showed us round and was friendly and approachable. We had Swallow and Haybarn. Both were lovely. Well equipped - especially in the kitchen - lots of pots and pans- and modern. Great swimming pool and you are given time slots to use this. This suited us really well. We used the games room; using the table tennis, pool and we did some puzzles. The conservatory was fab as it meant our large party could eat together. Beautiful surroundings and a picturesque pond to sit by. Very slick departure system too. We had a brilliant holiday and hope to return next year if we can. Thank you Halsbeer."
