Last week we stayed for four nights at Rimmers Farmhouse for a three generation get together and I can only say how wonderful a house this is for such a gathering . The kitchen facilities are fantastic with a large Aga for us old folk and a double oven/induction hob for the youngsters who want the immediate heat. It was just the sort of facility we needed for a large family celebration meal on the Saturday night and coped with too many cooks admirably! All the bedrooms are very comfortable with plenty of space to unpack properly with cosy beds. I especially appreciated having a generous ensuite. On the ground floor there is plenty of seating and area big enough to let you spread out. A big advantage was the separate dining/lounge/TV/games area we could banish the children to , but not very successfully! Although the weather held out we couldn't really take advantage of the outdoor seating and the expansive patio area which was a shame. The local area is beautiful with a lovely walk straight from the house and great pubs and brilliant farm shop a short drive away. For a family outing Witley Court was great as it is the sort of stately home visit where the kids can do no damage! There were much appreciated treats awaiting us on arrival and Melvyn and Shirley are both lovely and very helpful. I can only highly recommend Rimmers Farmhouse with my only complaint being Melvyn's heating system is far too efficient!
I cannot understand how anyone can be so unpleasant and mean minded as to give this property a 1star review and can only assume they haven't actually stayed here or came with 9 people they didn't like! We would love to return but perhaps with friends rather than...
Read moreRimmers Farmhouse is a sheer delight. Although there were 9 of us plus 1 dog there was always a suitable space for whatever on site activity each of us chose to do; the cosy sunglasses beautifully furnished and peaceful, the large living room with TV was also beautifully furnished as was every other room, all with plenty of objects/ ornaments. It always felt like a home more than a holiday rental. It was incredibly well equipped, even down to birthday banners which had been forgotten by us. The house was generous, as was the most amazing welcome pack, a reflection of our hosts who had both grown up on the adjacent farms. They had gone on to refurbish the farmhouse with such loving attention to detail. The outdoor space was excellent for the children and the dog. It was also a beautifully planted garden with many well tended pots. It was April and we weren't able to make use of the ample garden furniture but on our last evening we did enjoy playing our own impromptu version of Herd Mentality around the fire pit. We did get to enjoy the blossom and watching the landscape green up daily, especially over the expansive views to the front with the added interest of Melvyn driving his big,...
Read moreWe had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful and extremely spacious farmhouse. Set in a peaceful rural location, it offered the perfect escape from everyday life. The hosts were very friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful when needed and nothing was too much trouble.
The house itself was immaculate, with spotlessly clean bathrooms, very comfortable beds, and everything we could possibly need provided. A great welcome pack was provided with lots of lovely goodies and it’s clear that a lot of care and thought goes into making guests feel welcome.
This farmhouse is ideal for a family gathering—plenty of space to relax, laugh, and make memories together. We left feeling refreshed and grateful that we found...
