Summary: A truly wonderful find. The home is warm and inviting, full of beautiful cosy touches - woolen blankets, hot water bottles, fresh flowers everywhere, interesting books and history. And a great fireplace! The garden is absolutely lovely and we struggled to drag our little boys away from it on our last day. Stunning part of the world too, so many bays and villages to explore, and we were very generously offered the opportunity to meet some of the family’s animals and feed the chickens. Annabel and Hamish should be very proud of the memorable home they have created!

Summary: We had such a lovely time celebrating my 40th at Accrington farmhouse - it was cosy and had everything we needed. Annabelle was very easy to communicate with, had some great suggestions for catering, and set up a lovely table for us in a separate 'seed shed' for a celebration lunch. I would definitely go back!

Summary: Accrington was the perfect spot for a mid winter family gathering to celebrate an 80th birthday. Warm, comfy, absolutely everything we needed in a lovely setting - and far enough from home to be an adventure without too much travel. The new "seed shed" room was a great venue for our multi generational party - thank you to Annabel for making our stay so enjoyable, and to the Craw family for sharing their little piece of paradise with us.

Summary: The homestead was the perfect place for our family celebration. The venue was excellent, very tasteful decor, extremely comfortable beds with hot water bottles on each bed. Very well stocked kitchen suitable for large groups. Lovely gardens and great playing areas for children. We made good use of the outdoor table, sun drenched verandas and lawns. Added bonus was the local beaches and cows in the back paddock. Excellent communication with Annabel and Hamish. A wonderful property. We are looking forward to returning.
