Loved the forest bath!

Beautiful and peaceful farm! Great escape from the city and perfect location close to Stanford. Well equiped and the outdoor bath in the forest is a treat. Ideal for children.

Great family trip

We had a great short- breakaway with the kids at The Little Farmhouse. We felt away from it all and had great family time. The house was comfortable and well equipped for self catering. Great fireplace, friendly donkeys strolling by in the evening. It felt private and characterful in a forest like setting and only a few minutes from Stanford. Highly recommended.
