Context: Extended Family - 4 kids under 8 and 5 adults celebrating Christmas Stunning. Not only are the cottages cosy and warm, but they are all decked out with Christmas trees. Which is a massive part of Christmas feeling like Christmas. They are intelligently furnished, with the middle cottage having a large dining table (for Christmas Dinner) and an end cottage with a large lounge (for present opening). If they can nail Christmas then any family get together here will be this good. Highly recommend!![]()

We had a fantastic stay at Arden Farm House. Booked for a hen do, the place was perfect. Spacious bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and great communal areas. The hot tub was a real bonus- the sunset view from the hot tub is amazing! The pictures do not do the place justice. Useful check in information and responsive hosts. Would recommend![]()
