What visitors say
We had an absolutely lovely time, stayed two nights and it was a tale of two halves but meant we got the full hut experience. We arrived on a warm ish dry day and got to eat our food outside on the decked area, looking out to the beautiful views. Then Saturday was very windy, rainy and chilly, so we lit the wood burner, instantly warmed the whole hut and created such a nice atmosphere. All communication was brilliant, both before, during and after our stay. The huts are both aesthetically pleasing but also practical. Little things like the amount of plug sockets available, light switch near the bed etc just make it easy to be in. Everything has been thought of which is hard to do in a small space but they did it. We were made to feel very welcome and we really will be back. Luna (border collie) loved running around in the garden area and playing ball. She also enjoyed a lil sample of the yummy sausage they leave you in the fridge (plus bacon and eggs) We really can’t recommend it enough and we will be booking again. Thank you for making us feel welcome and for such lovely accommodation 😊

Great weekend experience in beautiful surrounds 🏡 Keith and Val are 🥇 welcoming and friendly, yet mindfully unintrusive. The huts feel private and well appointed for enjoying the views and sunset 🌇 from the deck. We had our two dachshunds 🐾 with us and they were welcomed on the farm, and provided secure area around the hut (resident Harry 🐶 is also very cute! 😊) Comfy bed (a bit of a surprise, actually 😉), well equipped kitchen and nice shower area. A lot of thought seems to have gone into the offering, to make guests comfortable and considered 💯 The farm fresh sausages, bacon and (fantastic) 🦆 eggs were super quality and delicious - a great touch! 💯 recommend Friends Farm 🐑 🐴 🦆 🐶 🐖 We would definitely return (and bring friends to the second hut) Thankyou for a lovely stay guys! Adam, Ross and the twins 🐾👍🏽🙏🏾

Such a lovely little getaway! Super dog friendly which was great for me. Eggs, sausages and bacon were in the hut upon arrival, with a lovely space out front for the dogs and parking close to the hut. Exactly what we needed for our bank holiday stay! Extremely kind and personable hosts too, thank you so much! We’ll be back again soon!

An amazing place if you want to relax and enjoy the quiet country side. It has everything you need and the complimentary bacon, sausages and duck eggs were delicious.
