  • Mr Lawrence

    “The property was fantastic and well maintained we all had a great time including our dogs, Would not recommend the farm house to anyone 6ft plus due to the lovely traditional low farm house ceilings.”

    The house keeper was quick to support some small issues we had and thank her greatly, But Sykes I rang repeatedly on the 2nd and morning of the 3 rd aswell as emailed about key code etc to never have an answer or response! Glad the house keeper answered ! Would recommend the houses again great walks and villages

    Hi Steven. Thanks for your positive comments about White Haywood Farm and Barn. They are much appreciated. Regarding the Farmhouse I’m sorry you banged your head! There weren’t many 6’ people around in the 1500s when the farm was built. I think height is an issue for some ground floor doors rather than for the ceilings themselves. We have ‘Mind your Head’ signs over a couple of doors and we will look at whether we could put up a few more. Property Owner
