Lovely stay, clean and comfortable with everything you could need. Friendly, helpful hosts. Lovely farm setting.
We had a lovely week there in "Pondview",great hosts,views & wildlife.Really enjoyed everything.Thank you Virginia and Peter. (Will recommend)
We stayed overnight at Rye Farm on Sunday 1st September 2013 but we also stayed there some 4 years ago for several days.
The good news is that nothing has changed - the accommodation offered to us on both occasions has been nothing short of superb. Our room was clean and smart with television and tea/coffee making facilities (a nice touch was the fresh biscuits), a good sized bathroom with both shower and bath and a range of toiletries, - and of course farmland views from the bedroom window.
Breakfast does not disappoint either, full English or continental, almost everything is available and is served with charm and helpfulness in the farmhouse style breakfast room.
Considering the earlier review, Yes Rye Farm is located in open countryside and it was once a full working farm boasting a much larger acreage. There are no stagnant ponds, just farmland ponds teeming with wildlife. Times change and the local water reservoir has acquired a large part of the farm but it still offers a breath of fresh air and a real feel of farm life made so much better by the genuine congeniality of owners Peter and Virginia. We chose a farmhouse B&B, the alternative of course would have been a sterile plastic box hotel in a City Centre.
With respect to the other point regarding beds I for one fail to see why a family with a bed wetting child would fail to take with them, or ask for, a waterproof under sheet for the bed. I certainly do not relish the thought of me, or my child, sleeping in a bed which has been 'sponged' down by a caring mother desperate to hide the truth.
We commend Peter and Virginia for taking a strong line on this and have no hesitation in recommending this lovely B&B (and couple) to anyone.
Fantastic accommodation great location.... Your allowed to wander nearby fields to see the sheep and cows and it's great fun to feed the fish in pond... Plenty to see if your into nature and the morning chorus sounds like mother nature's orchestra :) :)
We love so , our home in england
