“My husband and I spent a wonderful Christmas at The Shooting Folly.”
It was utterly perfect, they really have thought of everything. The quality of everything is top-notch, loved the bathrooms, kitchen is very well equipped (the freezer section of fridge even had ice-cubes ready for the gin and tonics - much appreciated!) They have a fantastic range of alcohol you can opt to buy, it is not overpriced, such a great idea. We didn't need to use it as had our own but for those that forget, there is something for everyone. Of course, we both enjoyed the hot tub, so good to get in after the long walk to and from the pub on Christmas Day (wonderful weather, stopped at the beautiful church on the way there and back) and the wood burning stove was so cosy. They don't charge for any of the wood, most places give you a free starter pack and then you pay after that, but not The Shooting Lodge. Neither of us can fault anything. It was all quite last minute, we felt we needed to get away this year, and The Shooting Lodge couldn't have been more perfect for us. As you drive up, it all looked magical, so cute and then you are met with the underfloor heating and loveliness. There were eggs and some lovely ginger biscuits, which I scoffed as my husband doesn't like ginger (bonus). The Christmas Tree lights were on, the place was warm, colourful lights around the hot tub - I love fairy lights so that's a winner from the get go. Loved the bedlinen, the styling, the chocolate on the towels - little touches are always appreciated. We both said we could easily live here permanently. I'll be honest and say that we would never have come across this place as up until July 2024, we had our beautiful dog but sadly, she died and that is the only reason we found this place as it doesn't accept dogs (understandably as it is a dairy farm). So thank you to the family, you've created something very special and we both felt it was a privilege to stay there and hopefully we'll manage to come back before we get another furry family member.
Thank you for your amazing feedback, it sounds like you had a fabulous time over Christmas at The Shooting Folly and truly magical stay. We would love to welcome you both back again for another stay soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages.
