Wonderful stay
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!

A lovely place to celebrate
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!

A perfect place for a midwinter family celebration
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.

Fabulous place to stay
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.

Dont advertise for up to 15. Living/dining space too small for that number. BBQ inadequate for large numbers Even though oven problems were disclosed, still could have put in a temp oven to help cater for large numbers. Cooking was a big issue. But lovely setting, beautiful garden

A thoroughly enjoyable break away in immaculate homestead with wonderful history. Annabel prepared the home beautifully and we particularly enjoyed the vases of flowers from their lovely garden and homegrown honey! Needed longer so will have to rebook in future.

A special Place
Accrington is one very special place. The garden alone set amongst the farm was a delight. I did love wandering amongst it noticing the plants and trees. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view, read, eat or have a nice glass of wine in the evening. The place has history and care has been taken to honour this with thoughtful styling, keeping comfort in mind. As a family, we loved the space of the house and all that the local area had to offer. Thank you very much for sharing this lovely place. We will be back!

Quiet home in the country.
If you would like a country escape then "Accrington" ticks all the boxes. The property is welcoming and comfortable in a genuine farm setting. The hosts made us welcome with fresh flowers, lovely linens and a homely living area. The house has many bedrooms and a generous garden. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet get-away.
