Home from home

Took my elderly mother for a week stay in the Stable Cottage, it was absolutely beautiful. Home from home there is everything you would possibly need. The hot tub was amazing so relaxing. The cottage is very spacious, so peaceful. Horses were grazing in the field outside our window which was a bonus for me I love horses beautiful animals. Beautiful sunset in the evening.  Will absolutely be coming back with the family. I absolutely recommend Lee Wick farm for families lovely open spaces and nature walk plenty of fresh air.

We loved the Cartlodge.

We have just got back from our second stay at the cart lodge. We have made nothing but amazing memories thanks to this beautiful place. The Cart Lodge sleeps up to 12 people (we were a group of 6 adults, 6 children) and there is plenty of space for everyone and everything. We previously stayed in the winter and had a wonderful cosy stay, the log burner added an extra special touch to the cold nights. Whatever time of year I would highly recommend! We are looking forward to booking again in the very near future. I would highly recommend it.

Relaxing break

The hot tub was so lovely and relaxing i would recommend to have one especially at night looking up at the stars with a glass of wine. The views where beautiful waking up to horses outside the windows and the walk down to the beach is so peaceful.
