Clean, comfortable and spacious.
The house is stunning, very old, beautifully renovated, and with fabulous views. It sits in its' own grounds, very peaceful and quiet, right next door to the local church. Each room is ensuite, there is enough seating for all, and it is very cosy. The welcome basket is extremely generous and much appreciated, thank you. `unfortunately, only half of the cooker works; the grill isn't heating and the right hand oven isn't working owing to the door seal being defunct. This was reported to the Housekeeper and, hopefully, will be repaired very soon. We have booked again; we love this house and can even play croquet on the lawn with a backdrop of far reaching views. Thank you for a lovely stay this year.
Broad Meadows is a lovely house in a great location but in need of a little tlc. Great outside spaces and views.
Excellent property in wonderful location with fantastic views. We were well looked after by our Property Contact; very responsive when any issue / question arose. Facilities were ideal for our group of 11.
Amazing 5 stars! Cant recommend it more.
Meadows Farmhouse was gorgeous. Perfect venue. Great house, very clean, lovely garden and a really pleasant and helpful host in David.
Superb location with excellent views. House very well appointed, mixture of modern and old, some quirky elements, much enjoyed by all.
This property is in a quiet location with superb views. It was a friends and family New Year get together and we all absolutely loved the property. The hot tub was used by most and the outside space is excellent, although we were a little restricted due to the time of year! All rooms are en-suite and very spacious. The pub nearby, The Sun & Slipper served excellent home cooked food which we can highly recommend. We loved the property so much we plan to return again.
A beautiful house with great attention to detail. The layout worked perfectly for a large group. The festive decorations and well stocked wood burner created a wonderful back drop for a cosy winter gathering. We were greeted warmly by the owner who did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible and was on hand in case of any problem. The lovely welcome hamper was much appreciated. Cannot recommend this property highly enough.
A nice house in a pleasant location
We had a family birthday gathering with 12 of us spanning 3 generations and Broad Meadows was the perfect choice. The house is beautiful and immaculately restored and so spacious that even with12 of us, there was always somewhere quiet and out of the way to relax. The gardens and outside areas are equally amazing with something for everyone-l whether it be the large hot tub, gazebo with bbq and firepit, treehouse or the extensive lawns. Beyond the house there is the the lovely village and church of Bayton to explore and a delightful network of footpaths to wander. If you’re looking for a great time, don’t hesitate-this is the place for you!!
It was just amazing. The whole property was stunning and the perfect place for our trip away with friends. The hot tub was a huge success as was the fire pit. We were unlucky enough to get rain the whole time we were there and it didn’t change anything. Many thanks to the owners - they were great too.
The location was outstanding
Beautiful house and stunning views. Outdoor areas very well thought out
Wonderful setting and venue for our family celebration.
What a wonderful spot for a family gathering. The views from every angle and the superb space throughout was just what we wanted
Everything about Broad Meadow Farm was special and there were a number of pleasant surprises. To have 6 ensuite bedrooms was perfect, all very well appointed. The sitting room was great for everyone to be together and the fire there would be an asset in the winter. The snug meant one could escape when one wanted to do so. The kitchen and dining room being combined was great as the cooks felt included in the conversations. The amount of crockery, glasses and cutlery was exceptionally generous, as was the welcome hamper.There were no less than 5 separate seating areas outside and the gazebo was exceptional with its additional features. The hot tub was the best we have experienced. There were lots of games including croquet. The location was fantastic and the views in 3 directions were stunning, as was the surrounding countryside. All in all an exceptional period farmhouse.
Superb house, wonderful views, lovely countryside, plenty of footpaths for walks, some interesting local towns and villages
Fabulous house with amazing views
Beautiful house, well appointed with gorgeous outdoor areas and a hot tub. Plenty of room inside for large groups to spread out. David was super helpful and unobtrusive even though he lived next door. A perfect house for families and friends to get together.
