15 AUGUST 2018

The house was beautiful in itself and beautifully cared for and furnished.

10 JULY 2018

Everything about Bakers Farm Oast exudes luxury and relaxation, from the delicious welcome hamper (with local produce and tasty scones) to the decor. The property is superbly presented and extremely clean with all the amenities you could expect.

7 JULY 2018

Excellent property in wonderful location.

29 JUNE 2018

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had absolutely everything we needed - and more - for a lovely holiday stay.

The garden areas were also impeccably cared for.

25 JUNE 2018

Fantastic! We have rebooked for next year!

31 MAY 2018

Just a great plover to stay

11 MAY 2018

We had a warm welcome with a lovely welcoming basket. The weather was excellent. The oast was perfect, everything was clean and in every room there were some nice details. It was much better than we expected and our expectations were quite high due to the lovely pics on the website.
We have had a good stay, thanks for having us!

23 APRIL 2018

Bakers Farm Oast is beautifully presented. The location and building were idyllic and fun too. On arrival the lovely hamper was a very welcomed addition. The owner was warm and welcoming so we instantly felt relaxed. We had a wonderful stay.

To Rural Retreats: We still feel that if 4pm is the arrival time 10am is too early an exit time. We understand RR reasons however, it makes the holiday end pressurised especially when it is a short stay. Perhaps owners could be asked to offer flexibility of say 1 hour. After all we are paying premium prices!

9 MARCH 2018

Excellent in all respects

27 FEBRUARY 2018

Excellent in all ways - lovely location, very well appointed, lovely house, lovely hamper - with the extra bonus of gluten free items for us

19 FEBRUARY 2018

An excellent holiday cottage which ticked all our boxes. It was spotlessly clean, homely and superbly fitted out to a very high standard. It is also in a great location for walks to and around Bewl Water.

12 FEBRUARY 2018

Fantastic cottage in an idyllic location. We loved the fire and countryside views from every window. Can’t wait to stay again in the future.

29 JANUARY 2018

A superb place to stay, would recommend it to everyone. Clean, up to date and just a great place

4 DECEMBER 2017

Our second stay in the oast. Very clean and cosy house. A warm welcome . We will come back

7 DECEMBER 2017

27 NOVEMBER 2017

The whole experience and the very friendly and helpful owners - absolutely perfect!

6 NOVEMBER 2017

Fantastic cottage! We have stayed their twice now.

16 OCTOBER 2017

It was a wonderful stay -- all good!

9 SEPTEMBER 2017

What a lovely property - as well as being spotlessly clean and very comfortable in every way, this was an absolute haven of loveliness. Outside each little window was a peaceful country view, and inside every comfort imaginable, from the scrumptious hamper to the comfy beds and fluffy towels. We loved the circular bedroom and kitchen. And all this only an hour from home. If you can bear to leave the place, pop down the road to Pashley Manor, which has the most beautiful gardens and cafe.

14 SEPTEMBER 2017

Yet another amazing review for Bakers Farm Oast. Thank you so much.

15 AUGUST 2018

Excellent location, and quirky comfort.
It would be helpful if some indication was given in the brochure that a very steep and narrow staircase has to be negotiated to access living and bed rooms. One of the couple was 85 yrs old, and I would say the property is quite unsuitable for anyone physically disabled.

25 JUNE 2018

Absolutely delightful property in a private, scenic location with amazing views from the top. We loved seeing the wildlife: rabbits, foxes, bats, squirrels and of course the more common sheep.

Very tastefully and comfortably furnished throughout. An ideal country retreat.

15 JUNE 2018

Beautiful building in stunning location! Well equipped, enjoyed the welcoming hamper.

9 JUNE 2018

Amazing, idyllic, beautiful.
Went for our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, will be going back!

29 MAY 2018

absolutely lovely place and location. couldn't have wished for anything better! not a person in sight only sheep!

14 MAY 2018

Wow - What a fantastic location, simply beautiful! Superb service received from the team, especially Andrea who went the extra mile to arrange something special for our anniversary. Highly recommended. Thank you!

10 MAY 2018

Superb and quirky accommodation in a stunning position with lots to see and do around. Hi

7 MAY 2018

Peaceful location, welcome basket was excellent as was the bottle of wine to greet us. Highly recommend the Knoll Tower as a place to stay and Rural Retreats as a company to deal with

9 MAY 2018

What a lovely recommendation for the Knoll Tower. Thank you for your kind words.

6 MARCH 2018

Fabulous thank you, we loved it!

20 FEBRUARY 2018

Amazing building, made a memorable and enjoyable short break for husband’s 50th birthday. Very relaxing, felt calm and peaceful and we didn’t want to leave! Quiet and secluded. Plenty of character.

The tower was clean and warm and well appointed. Really liked the sitting room at the top of the tower (hubby appreciated the smart TV). Good WiFi.

Negative: don’t rely on the welcome hamper! Juice and (tiny) bottle of milk were out of date, no eggs or bacon or cereal. Bring your own food! No shops nearby except the expensive deli, which didn’t really have much everyday food - eg we couldn’t buy milk there.

Negative: a bit of very distant background noise at night from motorway and aeroplanes. But not really noticeable to most people, I suspect!

Would love to know more history of the building and see any photos of the restoration (and how did they get the furniture in?!)

17 JANUARY 2018

Amazing venue. Secluded location, all mod cons. Made me feel like Lord of the Manor for the five nights I stayed. I saw hardly anyone apart from at The Granary, after a long walk from the Knoll. One of the best locations I have ever stayed in. This venue is totally unsuitable for people with mobility issues otherwise sublime.

10 JANUARY 2018

Quirky really different
Loved the experience

30 NOVEMBER 2017

1. Idyllic building
2. Delightful location
3. Beautifully furnished
4. Warm and comfortable
5. Historic landscape
6. The added bonus of the Delicatessen and the Granary restuarant

13 NOVEMBER 2017

wonderful property, quirky, very high standard and beautifully remote and romantic.

10 NOVEMBER 2017

The Knoll tower was a wonderful place to stay we were slightly disappointed.
We arrived on 27.10 the milk which was in the welcome back expired on 26.
The small very attractive battery operated lights, the batteries were dead and there were no replacements, there were no additional night lights so once used 1 evening that was it.

A tea pot would have been nice.
However this is a personnel preference.

7 NOVEMBER 2017

Fab location and amazing accommodation.

26 OCTOBER 2017

A fantastic location and very comfortable
See comments on the experience page for suggestions on some improvements

31 OCTOBER 2017

Thank you so much for your kind words about The Knoll Tower. I have passed on your suggestions to the Weston Park estate.

23 OCTOBER 2017

Excellent location and very well appointed with everything that you could want

16 OCTOBER 2017
