Step inside the charming farmhouse kitchen and whip up some snacks or perch at the island breakfast bar with a morning coffee. Slide open the bi-fold patio doors and embrace balmy family dinners in the spectacular orangery while the sun sets around you.

The windows from the outside look the original mahogany style and would benefit a little modernisation. Inside the property you could not fault the rooms and facilities although some may say shower attachments be placed in the rooms with the stand alone baths? Overall it is a lovely place and would definitely book again.

Three generations of our family stayed at Fairstead. It provided us with everything we wanted from the holiday. Space for the grandchildren to play, enough room for us all to be together, or, separate. A beautiful house in a beautiful location, equipped with everything you could need. Any queries were quickly sorted by the lovely housekeeper.
