What a lovely place to stay! There was loads to keep us occupied. We brought four dogs along and the set up was just perfect for them. The hosts were really helpful and friendly. We'd definitely think about staying here again in future!
Emily
We found Blistors Farm really quirky. As a family of 6 adults, one 3-year-old and a dog, it was quite the adventure! The facilities were greatand we thoroughly enjoyed the table tennis, snooker and bar football. The games room is such an experience! We made full use of the hot tub, which was heated to perfectionand we really appreciated the extra towels. Our dog absolutely LOVED the enclosed field! We all had a fantastic weekend and would definitely recommend it for a getaway packed with traditional family fun activities!

We can't recommend this property enough! We often book cottagesand this one's definitely among our favourites. It's super clean and comfortable. We had a lovely chat with the owner a couple of days before our arrivaland she was so warm, friendlyand accommodating, which carried on throughout our stay. The cottage had a lovely feel to itand the facilities were great. Don't miss out on the Miners Arms in Whitecroft; it's a fantastic pub with an awesome atmosphere and amazing pies. The whole area is really friendly. An absolute must-see!
