Organic farmstay accommodation in Somerset, independent reviews
 Reviewed 9 Jul 2008 by Melissa Abrahams |  |
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
My young boys got to collect their own eggs from the chickens and then ate them for breakfast. They absolutely loved the haystack. I walked up to the stone circle alone and saw a badger. My parents loved the morning hot chocolate and thought Lizzie was an angel. My brother loved the goat.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Stay for longer.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
It was really nice to feel just for a minute that we were part of an organic farm, as this is my dream. We had a small glimpse into the hard work but satisfying life of organic farming.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent. Ticked all the boxes. Lizzie and her family made us feel very welcome and not at all in the way. As she said early on, 'anything's possible'. Even though it was only 2 nights, we all felt refreshed afterwards.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
We had a wonderful time on the coast nearby at Kilve, but generally just really enjoyed being near the farmhouse, the lovely breakfast and the countryside.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Spend an extra day there!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes, being in Somerset reminded me how great it is to spend time in England and it was good meeting local people.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We only stayed on the farm for along weekend, but it felt like much longer. Whenever we have some free time my daughter (who is six) asks if we can go back to Somerset to stay with Lizzie, so the whole experience was very memorable and hopefully we stay again soon.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Arriving to a very warm welcome...a pot of tea and hot chocolate for the children. Sitting round the large table at dinner time with an extended community of friends. Collecting eggs and meeting Esther the pig. Meeting lots of cool likeminded people was the best.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be prepared to be amazed by the hospitality. Try out all the different ways to stay at this accommodation from camping to self catering to b and b.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
We eat loads of yummy local produce. We didn’t fly to Spain.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
