Highside Farm was perfect for our group to enjoy space, character and comfort in a location that gave us easy access to so many beautiful drives, visits and experiences. A few minor teething issues were quickly resolved by the Highside Team and nothing was too much trouble - so accommodating and welcoming with bright and cheery manners. The level of cleanliness was remarkable and the upgrades to the 400 year old farmhouse are wonderfully sensitive and stylish without losing the sense of age and place. Thank you so very much.

Everything was wonderful.

The view and accommodation are perfect but Debs, Dan and the boys are second to none and make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Wouldn't stay anywhere else.

The family who runs it were so kind and helpful, the room was amazing and the views were unreal. There was a pizza night on the Friday we arrived and the food there was great and so was the overall atmosphere. We absolutely loved it
