Excellent location with just about all amenities on the doorstep: shops cafes, bars, train station

This property was as described and probably more than anticipated. It is very big with spacious rooms. It is excellently equipped and we couldn’t think of anything that you would need and it not be available. On arrival which was much appreciated, there was milk in the fridge as well as biscuits, wine and cereals for us. The facilities: washer and drier as well as an airier were great with even the use of detergents. Again it made life away from home easy and many other unexpected things were available. The location is excellent and we picked this one as we attended Carfest festival but visited other places as well. Great to be be able to take less than a five minute walk to many bars, restaurants and cafes. The only other thing I can say is that the furnishings were a little ‘tired’ however it was our holiday home and that wouldn’t stop us from using it again were we to holiday in that area again. The owners have certainly covered all bases in respect of hospitality and yes recommend it to others.

Idyllic seclusion

A beautiful family home set in beautiful Berkshire countryside. If you are looking for a place to meet with family and friends, and have space inside and out for kids to run around in safety, Willow Farm is hard to beat. The kitchen was large and pretty well equipped and the connected dining area was perfect for family meals. Bedrooms were all clean and comfortable. There were a few challenges - notably the main boiler and the backup immersion system failing, so we were without hot water for a day - but our host was very quick in sorting out assistance and the problem was fixed. Excellent walks and pubs within easy range. Plenty of good supermarkets/shopping within 15-20 mins drive - easy to obtain anything you might need. Overall, would strongly recommend it as a well equipped and secluded family home!
